I just redid it last night and haven't thrown a code yet (only 43.5 miles on the odometer) but the first two times it threw was at 44.5 and 41.2. I will post later on today if I throw a SES on the way home.
Ultimately the P2A00 code means you have an Air-Fuel Ratio problem. But it could catch that code with a faulty O2 sensor.
sometimes OBD2 pisses me off. I also will have Osiris (with Cipher) arriving this week so I should be able to monitor this with no problem at a future date.

What I ended up doing was "winding" up the O2 sensor/cord (counterclockwise) so that when it screwed in the cable (clockwise) wasn't bunched up.

so you put the 02 simulator and then instead you got a p0137 and p0138 codes, what do those two indicate? I'll try swapping mine and see what code i get. thanks

I put my O2 simulator on my bank1 rear O2 sensor and no more P2A00, I've been driving around with a P0137 and a P0138 instead. New rear O2 here thursday, so we'll see.
Fingers crossed that it won't throw a code on the way home or to NOPI this weekend. Definitely let me know how the new O2 sensors work out for you.

That's the bank you have two on too, isn't it? Brillo pad stuffing time!

I just put in my new O2 sensor onto bank 1. Cleared the codes with my scanner. P0137 and P0138 were what threw the SES. P0430 was listed as "pending" but hadn't actually thrown (antifoulers fooling the ECU --> it won't actually throw the code until it's sure).

Sorry man. I still haven't thrown a code and I'm down in Atlanta for NOPI. I think I was just scrunching my O2 sensor wires and that was the reason I was throwing it.Hope you figure it out Viper!
