I'd be surprised if they'd even work on the exhaust system in that condition. Were you getting CEL's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinBarber Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 b2 s2 is the sensor after the cat which checks the cat is working correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFixEm Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 b2 s2 is the sensor after the cat which checks the cat is working correctly. ← You removed...nevermind. There are 3 cats on the IS. Two in the header pipe one for bank1(#1-3) one for bank2(4-6), and a sub cat under the car halfway down the intermediate pipe. This is probably the one you removed. There is no O2 sensor to check performace on the last cat. The first 2 sensors (B1S1/B2S1) feedback voltage the ECU interperates as rich or lean and adjusts fuel trim accordingly. The next two sensors monitor strorage capacity of the front cats. When a front cat dies or is tampered with you will get SES P0420/p0430. That's one of the funny things about our society...they make you wait 5 days for a handgun, but will sell a car to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
