I managed to get a P0411 code that had an obvious cause after inspecting my vacuum hoses. (Hopefully it won't have a secondary cause, but it was ok until I was messing around with a speedwrench to remove the top flange nut. Apparently trashed the little vacuum elbow on the combi valves.) So I...

I'm getting a P0431 code. The car has 112k miles and all four sensors are original. I'm sure they are long overdue for a change. I use an app on my phone and I can show the 4 sensors on individual graphs. The graphs show the pre-cat B1S1 & B2S1 voltage moving from a .i to .9v. If I understand...

Hey guys, I'm replacing the whole exhaust and now roadblocked by the skinny passage as the pipe heads up to the manifold. There is no way that pre-cat and flange will make it down. Am I to lower the subframe, supporting the motor? I tried to find help in multiple searches but only found a...
