Location: NEWPORT QLD		Hear hear. I have the slotted socket from changing front one Ordered today. $118.15 Had a look. Think I can do from top with inlet trunk removed from airbox  to TB T

Do you have a use for the old connectors and wire? T

Will post new waveform later after I record some more data on a test run

And now for a few days use to see if the pesky CEL is banished.....

You can use them to make extensions when fitting extractors.


well done on the 30 minutes....am impressed.

thanks also for posting the waveform...it makes it conclusive.

Location: NEWPORT QLD		Thanks

I let it cool for a couple of hours - time for coffee, paper etc before I got started

Not sure I have completely solved - post cat sensor on bank 2 looks a bit lazy also - not sure if a problem or just that the cat is working properly

A few days of driving around will let me know

But definitely NOT an LPG specific problem - I got as CEL yesterday on petrol while I was out of LPG and looking for a servo

The CEL's take a long time to come up if it is marginal Terry, running petrol didn't conclusively prove it in my opinion.

Location: NEWPORT QLD		I had been getting 2 or 3 a day sometimes

Will post a progress report after a week of no CEL - I hope, or change Bank 2 Sensor 2, but a lot harder for me to get to without a pit or hoist or ramps!

Location: NEWPORT QLD		BTW John

Do u have a typical waveform of how the post cat O2 sensors behave

a with good cats

b with bad cats

assuming the primary sensors are working properly?

Did some more research with the data logs I have and set up new graph of pre and post cat sensor waveforms

Blue = Front Primary sensor

Orange = rear primary sensor

Red = front post cat sensor

Green = rear post cat sensor

Green seems to be flat lining at about 0.2 V

EDIT  Can see some senor activity early in log prior to coolant reaching 80 C  - then flatline

 

Maybe a logging problem or a dead sensor ??

New graph throws some doubt on first wave form I posted - was probably front bank post cat sensor, not rear bank primary

Maybe your extension lead theory will let me re-use old rear primary as rear post cat?? Thoughts ??
