I have gotten the 300 code as well after both the G3 install and the FI cat back system but it is not consistent, in fact very rare now, but the P2A00 is nearly a daily arrival.....reader shows the code pops up once, and when the ECU throws the code the 2nd time is when the light comes on.

Questions:

1. Will a tune fix the P2A00 code?
2. For the short term, should I be concerned that the P2A00 is the cause of the light (i.e: any engine damage concern due to the A/F mixture being beyond the cars allowable limits)?
3. If a tune is a recommendation, can any reputable shop do it? I don't have an UPREV tuner in area which is one I have seen folks refer to.

thanks in advance...

The tune itself will not fix the code, but it can be set to automatically clear.

I wouldn't be concerned with the A/F ratio. If you had headers in addition to the exhaust and intake, you'd be getting into "I better get a tune soon" territory.

I would call around to different shops to see if they have any experience with the Z. You can also ask around in your regional forum.

Thanks - seems weird that I only get the code on Bank 1 (passenger side) and not driver's side. Just makes me concerned that there is something wrong, but if there is, it is definitely not obvious (car runs great). Suppose I could check the exhaust manifold to cat. joint, just not an easy one to get to. Will also check with some local performance shops / and the regional forum.
