Got the dreaded po430 code i have a 2000 5pseed 3.0 should i try and change the o2 sensor to get rid of the code or should i just blow it off since im running the obx v2 headers in the spring time? With the o2 sims?



Please excuse my cheap *** scanner lmao times are hard and it was on sale at harbor freight lmao

 

If you're going with headers, then I would just leave it. Especially if it just popped up. If you do begin to get that smell though, might want to hurry and get those headers on, don't want the cats failing, although, doesn't seem to be much of a problem for the VQ30's.

 

Agreed. I'm not planning on running headers, but I recently had the same code and replaced Bank 2 Sensor 1 and have not shown a code since. Plus my mileage has been creeping back up too, which is nice. Lastly, my car quit bucking when cold like it was doing. Much smoother now.

 

I just ordered a oem o2 sensor off a parts car for 20 bucks shipped lol so lets hope I get the Same results

 

burning smell??? Lol I daily everyday with this car don't give me horror news like that lmao I think the previous wonder ran regular in the car I did a full tune up and I run 93 in the car to try and save the cats but it doesn't seem like it worked lol

 

Burning was a bit harsh, I meant cat smell, sulfur/hot etc.

 

just got this code today on my 02 infiniti. It first came up last week and reset it and changed the 02 sensor. Ive smelled rotten eggs for a while but this is the first time this 2nd time the code popped up, although ive noticed the car is a bit slower than normal too so this may be contributing to that. Good thing ive got a spare front pre cat tho. I may just install it for the time being and gut the one im taking off or get some a header since its on the front.
