    Hi
    I have a 02 S I'm getting two codes. they are; P2096 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 1, and P2270 O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Lean Bank 1 sensor 2.
    I have OBX headers and a after market exhaust. both have been on the car about a year.
    I'm not sure if its a leak in front of the post cat O2 sensor or a bad cat or a bad O2 sensor.
    Can any help
    Thanks Lee :mad2:

    FWIW, I got the second code after my stock header cracked at the weld below the pre-cat and was leaking badly.

    Thanks I haven't got under the car to check for leaks yet. The check engine light came on a few days ago. I didn't have time to check it at the time, after a few trips it went out. The CEL came back on tonight. The car was cold and I had only gone a few miles, as soon as on got on the highway it came on again.

    Check the wiring to the O2 Sensors to make sure they are not rubbing on the header or heat shielding.

    im without a cat. and having same issues. At first it was cat effeciency code and p0130 o2 sensor circuit(bank 1 sensor 1). I put an L spacer in my 2nd o2 sensor to clear out the effeciency code and now i have p0130 still and a p2270 o2 sensor signal stuck lean bank 1 sensor 2
