Help with P1273 and P1283 codes

[optiondrift]

Hi All,

 

Have been doing some searching and reading but not much help. Have had the CEL on every since i bought the car a year ago and has never made a difference as i just put it down to the Berk HFC's. The other day i just started smelling fuel so obviously is running rich so checked the codes and P1273 and P1283 have popped up. Cleared the codes. Drives 20miles and codes with smell come back. Cleared the codes again just to make sure that they both come up at the same time. They Did. So in my head it can't be the 02 sensors as i find it hard that they both went at the same time. Now my question is is that one of the cobra y pipe flexis has a small leak and has done for quite a while now and unsure if that could be the problem. But its had this leak for a while now and have never had this problem before so rather than chucking £270 at it first just wanted to see if anyone elese has had this before or has any advice.

 

Mods: K&N Panel Filter, Cobra Ypipe, Berk HFC's and Cobra Cat Back engine wise as far as i know as the previous owner didnt have a clue and person before was the one who carried out the mods.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Sam

I had the same codes and it turned out to be both front sensors.  I would get one of the specialists to check the codes as they can generally get more detailed info than if you have an OBDii reader.

Ok, just seems weird for both to go at the same time. You would usually expect one to go at a time. Just makes it a pain as if it was just one i could swap them around and see if they are at fault but if both has gone i will just get the same result again.

 

Anyone recommend some o2 sensors then?
