Does it say which bank the O2 sensor is on? If it is bank two, then the O2
code and cat code are probably related. The rear O2 measures the efficiency
of the cat. You might double check all the wiring to that O2 sensor.

Subject: OBDII readiness monitors...

 

I'm having a devil of a time and I'm hoping the list can help me. 

Car: 97 w/ 99 motor. I normally run the Link, but had to swap the stock ECU
back in for emissions. I swapped ECUs a month ago for my e-test that has a
deadline of this friday. I just took the test and failed in order to get the
1 year extension. 

So here's new stuff. Some of this has been added over the course of the last
month in an effort to get monitors to set. New front o2 sensor. I recycled a
30k mile old o2 to replace my original 125k stock rear o2 sensor that I
thought might be "tired". new plug wires (it was time), new-ish magnaflow
cat (about 6 months since putting that in). Car runs fine. Not as smooth as
with the Link, but fine. 

It REFUSES to set the o2, cat, and EGR monitors! I've driven an honest 500
miles in various conditions. I've performed a handful of different "drive
cycles" I found on Miatanet including one that claimed to be for a 97
specifically. Still nothin. I can have 2 monitors not ready in Albuquerque,
but not 3. 3 is fail. 

Does anyone have any ideas? I never had this problem before. On a normal
commute to work, this car would run and pass all tests in 2 days (4
cold-start drives). But 2 years later after running the Link, there's no
joy. I just need to get ONE more test to run. I'm going crazy. 

thanks, 

Adam
