I will, im going to get the art pipes checked fore any cracks, after i had the bank 1 sensor replaced the car felt great, now this past week it feels kinda boggy , when i mash the pedal the car just feels heavy, the power is there but its just a weird feeling. i also just realized that im about 5k miles due fore an oil change, maybe this is the culprit.
You have an exhaust leak. I had the exact same code when my upper test pipe gaskets were leaking, it actually gets air reversion to the sensor and sets that p2a00 code at idle. It will only usually trigger if you sit at idle for a while, so it may or may not come right back. I didn't change any sensors or even the pipes, just ordered new gaskets and replaced all the hardware, the code hasn't come back in 3-4 months.
Don't listen to the guesswork on here, find someone who knows how to troubleshoot something properly.

lol yeah im usually pretty religious when it comes to oil changes but ive just haven't had time to get it done. I had a shop install the pipes so i dont know if they used the gaskets or not, i have an 07 hr.
OK, i'm pretty certain that you shouldn't use the gaskets between the ART pipes and the manifolds due to the angle, they blow out. Just use exhaust sealant only. This may well be where you have a leak from if you have one.

Aww i see, this would be great if the exhaust leak is the problem, i would think this would be a relatively easy fix.

[QUOTE=F2CMaDMaXX;9769779]Yup, apply RTV to both surfaces (after cleaning) and allow about 5 mins to cure in the air, then bolt up and leave over night (if poss) before starting. Ok thanks, hopefully the shop i go to can get it checked on monday.

Ok so i had my tuner look at the car he checked some logs on the car and says the bank 1 sensor is running more rich then the bank 2 sensor. Im gonna get the bank 1 replaced again under warranty. I hope this is the issue. Im tired of my car feeling like its bogged down. Really thinking about going back to stock at this point.
sorry if this has already been covered, but do you have test pipes with antifoulers? this has caused similar problems with others as well. if so, remount the rear O2 sensors so they are in the direct path of the exhaust gasses
Yes, he does, but this is a good point, some people have had odd problems with anti-foulers.
You can test this by unplugging the rear o2 sensors and seeing if it clears up.

I used to clear the code all the time thru a factory reset, but it would come back on in a day or two. i totally disabled that bank 1 sensors ses code using osiris so that stopped the ses light but the car still feels sluggish.

So should i relocate the o2 sensors or have them removed? the shop i go to is 2 hours away so the next time i had to charleston they are going to replace the bank 1 sensor again. the mechanic who worked on my car says it felt fine to him , when he took it fore a test drive, but i told him he would've had to driven the car before to no what im feeling.
