        Thanks mate.
        I had a read of that. The cats have been checked when the exhaust was fixed the other day. The cats are also only 3yrs old. if I had more time at home with it (back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off) I'd run through those tests with my Bosch scan tool. It'll be up to the mechanics now. I've had a gut full of it.
        The really weird thing is the issue seems to only come up when the 2nd tank is half empty. I'm having the fuel sender sensor arm changed as well as the injectors this week.

          Well after 3 days at the mechanic we're no closer to a solution. They did say the o2 sensor readings were all over the place but don't know why. They did put the 3 injectors and fuel sensor in though I had already bought. It's off again to the exhaust place again on Friday as rhe mechanic reckons there is a leak still in the exhaust system. TBH they didn't seem to have a clue.

            Well guess what, engine light on again. It's off again tomorrow to the exhaust place. It's really giving us the shits now and is on borrowed time before it gets traded in.

              And what code has been thrown this time?

              Comment


              • #22
                Same code, P0420. It's been this code all along.
                New fuel Injectors on bank 1, 6 new spark plugs, Swaps coils over between bank 1 and 2. Swapped O2 sensor from bank 1 to bank 2. Cats are clear (can they be clear but not working efficiently?), exhaust leaks fixed.
                It's going back this arvo to retest for leaks and maybe a test cat.

                I went and test drove a Subaru Forester this morning as well, maybe it will get scared and promise to be good

                  Has the plugs and cabling been checked? Maybe it's not the sensor.

                    Plugs were replaced, cables not checked by a mechanic I suspect but at least appear ok. I would think if if were a cable it would be happening all the time?

                      Hey Bill,

                      What has your fuel economy been like during the error code throwing period?

                      Had a mate with a P0430, opposite bank to yours (30 is PS, 20 is DS), and it could be traced back to a faulty injector, which over fueled and killed his PS cat.

                      His economy had crept up over 20l/100km, so after replacing his faulty injector, two new O2 sensors (pre-cat), and a new PS cat, he is no longer throwing codes and his economy is back down to around 15-16l/100km.

                      It sounds like a similar cat issue you are having. If the O2 sensor readings are all over the place it's usually a dead cat. Age of the cat wouldn't matter if you have had an injector with a poor spray pattern that has resulted in over fueling.

                      Expensive issue to try and sort out, hope you can fix it!

                      Best

                        Thanks Mark. That does make sense and we'd thought of something similar too. Since bank 1's injectors have now been changed anyway (and I personally think it's smoother) the cat is next.
                        Economy isn't too bad on Caltex 95. My wife ran BP 95 for a while back and soon after then the issues started and economy was bad. She changed back to Caltex and economy was ok again but the issue was there now.

                          Latest on the issues after picking up the car finally. The exhaust shop has installed a "blocker" on the sensor so it always reads correctly. Evidently they're used with system with high flow cats (we don't have 1 of those however). Time will tell.

                            All that is is a resistor across the wiring. It should never go into fault. Effectively it isn't there anymore. If it does now it is an upstream cable or plug fault.
                            The only issue with the blockers is it could have real issues and you'll never know.

                              Well after my wife drove it today the blockers now caused 2 new errors, low voltage on both those sensors (sensor 2 post cat) so tonight I took them both out. I have now also installed new o2 sensors (in case both were faulty and my earlier attempts at swapping them was futile). I took it for a drive with the engine scanner in. I have some queries on the results but will start a new thread on that an many technically minded people don't check the build threads. I've aonly mainly just the issues here for my own benefit of logging the issues.

                                What brand sensors are you using?
                                I ordered Toyota genuine they amayama. I did find generic bursons or repco threw an odd code now and again.
