Ok, so if any of you followed my post not too long ago about my hardships with a certain dealership, you should know I was having problems with my 02 sensors.
I searched around for other people with the P0136 code, and saw a common problem which I fit under as well.
First - Borla headers
Second - Mil Eliminator
At first when I got the code over two months or so ago, I didnt notice any problems, until maybe about two weeks ago when my car idled weird, at about 500 rpm... It would hang at 1k while coming down from revs, then drop to 500 abruptly, and it would feel like a bucking bronco. it even stalled on me a couple of times.
The apparent solution actually isnt to remove the MIL eliminator nor get spark plug anti-fouler for the rear. The problem actually lies with the Front 02 sensor. It sends the computer a bad signal, then the computer receives a signal from the rear 02 sensor and when it tries to compare the results it gets confused and accuses the rear sensor of treason, erm being faulty.
Oh and if you are still under warranty and have aftermarket exhaust, they HAVE to cover it =p. As it was explained to me by my warranty people, the exhaust has no effect on making an 02 sensor go bad. Bad gas, too high octane, etc, will cause 02 sensors to freak out.
