The car is running really rough and I don't want to drive it until this issue is resolved. I don't see how the sensor could be bad, it unscrewed from the factory exhaust manifold very easily and the mechanic was very careful with it. It was never dropped or bumped into anything.
The mechanic warned me that extending the wires on the o2 sensor was a bad idea. Suggesting that I should extend the wires on the cars wiring harness instead. He said that the solder can screw up the resistance on the wires and cause all sorts of issues with AF readings. I told him to do exactly what the directions said and now I have this issue. My car only has 6,000 miles on it and everything was fine before the install. After some research I discovered that the 2011 370Z uses a different pre cat o2 sensor from the 09-10. I was thinking that could be the issue but the bank 1 sensor appears to be working fine. I have searched and was unable to find any members with the headers installed on a 2011.
After the light came on we pulled the sensor out and checked all the wiring and connectors. Everything looked fine. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. I was going to call Tony in the morning, but I would really like to fix this tonight. It's cold, raining, and my only other way to work in the morning is my motorcycle.

I got your pm and replied to that for you.
We send out 8 high grade, high temp. color coded wires with the headers.
-4 Black
-2 Blue
-2 White
They are already cut specifically to length and the instructions state specifically to only lengthen (1) original wire at a time. This way there can be no mix ups or wire crossing. Now I am pretty sure that you bought the headers used so i do not know if you have everything you need with them.
I have over 90 sets installed between the 370Z and G37 coupe and this is the first time I have encountered this. From the 2 codes your car has thrown, I am almost certain the mechanic that lengthened them did something wrong. Even though the (sensor probe itself) on the 2011 is different, that will not effect the outcome. As long as the correct wires are soldered back together and the correct wire is used, you should not have any problems.
I will be in the shop @ 8 am PST. Give me a call whenever you like and I will help you the best that I can. I am sure it is something that can be corrected somewhat easily...
Thanks, Tony
