P1273 EML Code

[Dannyg]

Morning all, had issues with a P1273 code lately, got bank 1 sensor replaced yesterday but the lights come back on with the same code

any ideas what else it could be?

Garage think it may be an air leak and are looking at it again tomorrow, but is there anything else i can tell them to look out for?

thanks

Dan

No guarantee but if you have a plenum spacer fitted nip up the bolts holding the top of the plenum on.  I had the same problem and that is where my leak was.

Thanks Chris, but no plenum spacer on mine

Standard cats? and what quality sensor did you have fitted?

[Dannyg]

Doubt it, its humpys old Zed  but not aware of what Cats he had on it

Car has been running fine for the few months i have had it, only recently the lights come on, and its started running rich and smelling a little.

Could have been any make, garage that fitted it would have got it from Eurocarparts, and cost about £80

My sport cats do the same thing, every few weeks/months (she's not my daily), I get the same error code, usually on a warm day when the cats aren't that hot and I'm sedately cruising. No rough running, still passes emissions test once the cats are good and hot. I have had similar with ECP sensors though so it could be them.
