  1. In most cases the O2 sensor is not the problem - it is the device reporting the problem.

    P1128 and P1130 say that the fuel mixture is so lean that the DME can not increase the richness enough to compensate. This is usually caused by an intake (or exhaust) system leak, a blocked fuel filter, or low fuel pump pressure. Since (both sets of 3) cylinder banks report the same issue it is unlikely a fouled injector.

  2. All,

    Can anyone advise whether enabling the OBC via the PST2 before you complete the installation and wiring will illustrate any error or fault code on the PST2, because the wiring isnt complete and present in the car?

    I ask this in the event that my OPC tell me they have tried to enable it, and get an error and then decide they can't complete the process, when in fact this may be normal as the complete circuitry isnt present.

    Cheers

    No. Turning on the OBC will not generate an error/fault code. Mine is on right now (and has been for 3 years). I also have not done the OBC hack - I just get the outside temp. I have a scanner and my car shows no fault codes.

    But your dealer should check for any fault codes BEFORE they turn it on - that's just plain "good practice".

  3. Thanks for the info, car has never had any electrical hacking, what about the switch in the seat belt receptacle? could that be bad? I've also been told that the ground contact from the seat frame to the body may be poor. What do you think?

    Thanks,  Roy

    On Scouser's car there was a TSB for seat belt contacts making poor connection. That problem was (supposedly) fixed on production cars in Sept. 1999. AND, that fault caused the airbag to go on all the time -- not off.

    There is a ground under the drivers seat but you must remove the drivers seat to get to it. To remove the drivers seat you need an E12 (external Torx) socket and to be safe you should disconnect the battery so you don't trigger an airbag accidently. Or, since your car is still likely under warranty you could let the dealer trace this down.
