I just had this issue and it was because of my flywheel being installed incorrectly.

Yea they both needed to be replaced because I was getting codes for both, how it happened to where they failed at the same time, I don't know. Beforehand I asked the shop that did my rebuild if they installed the flywheel correctly and they assured me they did. I'm not getting the same codes now since I replaced the solenoids so *Knock on Wood* hope everything is in order.

I dont mean to toot my own horn buy I managed to get the catalytic converter to manifold bolts off... Now I have an extra set of stock garbage manifolds... Awesome.
Pretty sure they are not 12 mm bolts, but they thought they were.
For those who might have forgotten what they looked like
Yes that actually came off...

LOL, How much cans of WD was used? Was a decent amount of foul language used to break that juggernaut bolt?

I dont think I used any lube. I was actually thinking it was going to just break off. I got some special rusty bolt socket from lowes that broke instantly... Then I hammered that 12 mm on and is came right off with the impact...
Now if I can actually get the ones on my car off I will be really impressed with myself because they look just as bad.

What did require a lot of wd40 and a lot of persuasion was these pins on the brake calipers. I am most impressed with how much brake pad is left with the amount of horrible time it was removing them... I am so glad that I was inside and that I didnt think this was going to be easy.
These might actually be usable so thats a plus.

Prepped for media blast & coating...
Yes, just doing the centers and living with the battle scars on the one barrel. Metallic Fushia should look great!!
I keed.
Faces and barrels (not shown) stamped for re-assembly.
Hardware all labeled (yes, each bolt marked by position as well) and safely tucked away in my "Wheel Accessories" drawer. OCD much? Nawww, re-assembled wheels *SHOULD* not require rebalance this way.
Empty keg. (Yes, the tires have only a few psi in them.) With minimum of pressure, the beads should theoretically keep the wheels in round while the centers are out. They'd better or I'm in a world of hurt. Laff...
Annnnnnnd..... centers headed to the coaters tomorrow.

Small stuff...ordered an Agency Power (AP-UNI-600BLK) stubby antenna and a Stillen front plate re-locator. Wanted to get a 4-wheel alignment today but...had to delay that.
EDIT-- Installed clear side-markers on front corners.

I bought an NRG 3 inch carbon fiber antenna and I really like the way it looks but the reception isn't as good as the original antenna although it's not terrible. Cincin feedback on the reception of that antenna :-)
In all sincerity man, I have no clue if this antenna's reception will be any good or not. Meets my needs to eliminate the stocker and after looking at a few choices, I grabbed it.

Got the Akebonos up. Unfortunately Z1 shipped me the wrong bolts so I had to go to the hardware store and pick up the correct ones. They never answer emails so I figured it would take a month to get 4 bolts
Also did a test fit on RPF 1 and had some rubbing on the barrel. Everyone said they should fit fine but I had to get out the grinder. Luckily it didn't take much. Have a racing stripe on the inner barrel now...
