Help With p2a00 and p2a03 engine code
For the past week Ive been throwing this code. Did the search, seems to be alot of different things and no fix. Im also twin turbo'd. Also Ever since I got these codes my power band seems to struggle on third gear. For example, I would ride hard on 3rd gear but once it hits 5500rpm it would either stay there or struggle there. Also happened to me yesterday but this time one 6500rpm. Thing is it would only do it on 3rd gear but why only on high rpm? Now should I change my whole stock cats to HFC? Change out the o2 sensors? Im pretty sure I have a leak cause the other day I had the car on and saw water vapor drops coming between the exh pipe and the cat converter; passenger side. Mods are APS twins and hks hipower with stock cats.
p2a00 “O2 Sensor Circuit Range/Performance, Bank 1 Sensor 1”
P2A03 “O2 Sensor Circuit Range/Performance, Bank 2 Sensor 1”

These are the O2 Sensors before the Cat's. Whats going on is at low RPM's your ECU reads all 4 O2 Sensors and does a comparison. I think they call this closed loop. Now at Hi RMP's you ECU goes in to Open loop "correct me if I am wrong" There for no longer doing the comparison.
Just like with mine I noticed that I only got the SES light when I was driving normal (Below 3000 RMP). Now When I ran the car hard I never saw the SES light. (RPM's mostly above 3500)
I hope I got the whole open/closed loop thing correct. Hope this helps some.
You may need Non foulers.
Now in my case this is what I found.

Glad someone brought this up again. I have the same code (p2a03). Can't still find a fix . I have berk hfc and I detect no leak.
someone mentioned to me about non foulers but haven't installed them yet.
Let me know if anyone kns a permanent fix for this.
Thanks

I thought berk cats come with non foulers?

Osiris is a software tool from Uprev. Like I said I am not 100% sure if or what all codes it can suppress.
Now you could always build/buy some 02 simulators. My buddy runs them on his Tacoma. He has long tube JBA headers. The 02 simulators work great.
For your setup, I would just search Google/e-bay for 02 sensor non foulers.
