These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Unsuccessful attempt · Original poster

I replaced the bank 2 downstream 02 sensor last week after a P0161 code popped the CEL. Unfortunately this didn't fix the problem, and the CEL with the same code came back within 100 miles or so.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All, I could use some help with my new to me 2005 997 (3.6--2006 build date). I replaced the bank 2 downstream 02 sensor last week after a P0161 code popped the CEL. Unfortunately this didn't fix the problem, and the CEL with the same code came back within 100 miles or so. After running some errands with the car this morning, I decided to investigate further. Pin 1 had 1.25 volts with the car running. I could not get a good resistance reading on pin 2. I took a look at the wiring just behind the female plug that goes to the wiring harness and saw lots of electrical tape, so naturally I investigated. The 2006 plug is different from the 2005 version, and whomever had put the 2006 motor in had just made the connection for the updated plug with electrical tape. I took all of this off, cleaned up the wires, and soldered them, hoping this would solve the problem. I then wrapped the wiring with non-stick electrical tape and reconnected the 02 sensor. After taking the dog for a walk, I went to take the car for a test drive. The car wouldn't rev over 1800 RPM, and threw the following codes: P0158, P1091, P0132, P0138, and P0152. I checked the fuses--they were all ok. I then disconnected the battery for 30 minutes or so to reset the computer. I started the car again, with similar results--the car still stumbled and would not rev over 1800 RPM, this time throwing P1091, P1175, and P0132. I did not take the airbox off while doing the wiring repair. What happened?? Please help! Thanks, Andrew
