So something is jacked up and i'm not liking it. Like i'm really 100% regret doing it. I loved my car more than my family and now I want to get rid of it, don't think y'all realize how much this ruined the car for me. For god sakes I broke my EFFIN nose dealing with this pile of horse pucky!

Also the front pre cat (which is gutted) only has 4 out of the 7 bolts holding it in place. And to add to your tidbit I drove over 15-20 miles on open headers, I even opened it up for someone in a civic who thought he was king of the road.....im about 90% sure he shat himself and half of Franklin tn now thinks I have an LS in my car....

I'm sure the car is running lean too, the spark plug from cylinder 4 was really dry when I pulled it out and the car runs rough when its hot. Anyways since I gutted the cat's there's less restriction which is throwing this code correct? Does bank 1 control the fuel and air ratio which is causing it to run lean? Would getting a new sensor fix it?

I've had the ecu and fuel/air ratio reset with the Consult 2
