This is so retarded
ok so a week ago my CEL came on and my inspection was due in November. I got the code pulled and it turned out to be a Bank 1 rear o2 sensor (P0159). Fine. I replaced it and the CEL went away. I drove the car around for a day or so before getting it inspected again and the CEL came back on again! This time it was the Bank 2 rear o2 sensor (P0138 along with a bunch of other rear o2 sensor related codes). Ok so i change that POS as well. I pass inspection thank God! but my macho sadistic car wasn't done yet.....apart from the front tire getting busted from the side (completely unrelated) a p0430 (bank 2 pre-cat crapping out) code popped up.
I am not sure what to do now
I think there is a TSB out there for bad rear o2 sensors. If i get the car flashed, would that help eliminate the issue?
I was also planning on replacing the MAF sensor before getting the car flashed....should i?
side note: before the p0430 code came, i put some STP fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank.......would that have anything to do with it?

Bad 02s will put cats out of their miseries, that's for sure.
No, don't replace the MAF until it goes bad.
You could check the dealer for the latest update for a reflash for your ECU, but it wont change the fact that you need a new cat.
