I ran my reader to see if I had any new codes after driving through a huge puddle of water that stopped the engine from turning over for a few minutes. I may now be seeing fallout from this mishap or it may even be from my catless uppipe install.
Since this mishap, I ran my reader and had a P0301 and a P0420. The P0420 I know is from my catless downpipe. the P0301, has cleared out and not returned (knocks on wood). I ran the reader and got a P0031. I know what the code is, however I do not know its cause. Here are my thoughts....
When I installed the uppipe. It was corroded so bad I needed to torch it to get it out of the stock uppipe to put it in the new one. At this time, it didn't appear that any of the wiring was melted or that the sensor stopped working. Is it possible for the sensor to stop working due to torching? I may also have reason to believe that the wiring may have been melted and water may have shorted it out.
I do not know if this is a common code associated with having a catless uppipe or if it is from water damage/ the sensor just stopped working due to the torching or heat, or if the wiring is fried.
If I buy a new sensor with new wiring, do any of you think that this problem will be resolved? I have to get my baby inspected by the end of the month and I just want to get this cleared up.
Has anyone had this experience, any recommendations, solutions??
