fsuguy Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 About a month ago the LH side coil went bad resulting in red-hot glowing cats - both of them! Anyway with help from threads on the forum, identified the problem as being the coil, changed it and performance improved. Now I am getting CEL codes 25 (air/fuel mixture lean), 26 (air/fuel mixture rich), and 41 (Throttle Position Sensor)! And here is a peculiar thing - the CEL does not stay on all the time - sometimes it simply goes away, other times it stays on for several days. Performance has also dropped when the CEL is on. Can this be a sensor malfunction, or a bad ground? Does anyone have any experience with this happening after a coil failure - does the glowing cats destroy the O2 sensors? I believe the main O2s are pretty close to the Cats. If not, can the TPS alone account for this contradiction of the fuel ratio? Any help will be greatly appreciated TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
