Installed headers, different CEL codes. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I had a local mechanic install my long tubes last week with no cats. I did the spark plug anti-fouler trick to keep the CEL away since I'm going to do a tune/cam swap later in the summer.

Well the traditional CEL codes that come up stayed away but I am getting these.

P0171
P0174
P1153

Contacted the mechanic and he said that he ad spliced the wires to add the needed length for the front O2 sensors, because they where too short. Could this be the culprit of all of these?
I believe the first three are from the front 02 sensors but the last one I can not find anything on it.

Thanks

I would definitely say so. He may have easily crossed some of the wires or the O2 sensor and computer are not liking the added resistance in the wires from cutting and soldering them. You need new O2 sensors and buy some O2 harness extension to fix the problem correctly.

Well in that case anyone have a pair of O2 sensors or o2 extenders before I buy a set?

That's strange, i cannot find anything on that B code either. Hmm

I are pretty cheap. I paid $48 shipped for two.

I cannot either. On the Torque app it just says BODY on the end of the code. Other than that I cannot find anything.
