Paper filter in, cleaned MAF sensor new Lean Idle DTC both banks short time later

Is the vapour purge circuit a possible candidate for air leaks into manifold?

Bit longer for me as no hoist, have to do back manifold from underneath on engine stands.

 And I guess bite the bullet and buy a torque wrench in view of your easy to strip comments earlier

So maybe a try of front manifold and rear post cat sensor as that is the only sensor I haven't changed and it behaviour (or the behaviour of the cat) is a bit peculiar

Location: An island off southern Tasmania.		all you need is 12mm,14mm and 15mm sockets to remove manifolds, as well as some red silicone grease for the exhaust flanges.

Dont need a torque wrench for the manifolds, just be careful


the exhaust manifold gaskets are stainless steel and fully reusable.

Why the red silicone? Mine had a stainless steel gasket in the flange joint?

A couple of sore knuckles but front cat swapped. The nut behind the alternator is a bit of a challenge!

Sadly post cat sensor on front bank is reporting faulty heater and sitting at 0.44 V, so will change that tomorrow when all cold again - at least I now have two to choose from!

Different sensor post cat 1 (firewall) shows same pattern as before, so that cat getting tired.

Location: NEWPORT QLD		Fixed the front post cat with my last spare, then after about 30 km the rear post cat started flat lining at 0V.

I'll get there one day
