p2a03 CEL code

inf3kted · 11-14-2015, 11:37 PM

Hi guys,

I'm getting a p2a03 CEL code. After some brief searching it might be a faulty sensor or a crack in my exhaust system somewhere. I have berk HFC and a tomei cat back.

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this in their 370z.

Bad piping? Berk tech, i think some members had this prob.

Jack her up, n check for leaks. How long have u had it on?

Wait wait, its sensor #1 i just noticed, bad fuel....fuel pump could be goin, dirty intake filters, bad spark plugs.....this comes to mind.

Bank 2 are the sensors on the headers right?

I did try and clean my air flow meter with AFM spray less than a week ago...

Edit: found out im missing one of the bolts that connect the HFC to the Y-pipe. But it doesn't explain why the sensor on the headers are going off....

Yes those are the ones that see a/f ratio right after the engine, get that bolt fixed, and clear the code, drive for 10-15 min, dont floor it, restart car and see if it comes back.

Fixed the bolt issue and then cleared the code. Fast track to now the CEL has come on again. I would of thought it would of came on during my track day (which was after i cleared the CEL)
