Help! P2096 Code Diagnosis
Help! P2096 Code Diagnosis
Hoping I can get some help from the more knowledgeable forums members.
I recently replaced the fuel filter and installed some new 380cc fuel injectors on mt 03 R53. Car drove wonderfully after and I had no idle or running issues. I have put a few hundred miles on the car with no issues. I was making a trip this weekend and made a rest stop, stopped the car, and when I turned the car back on and I had the SES light. I have a code reader and pulled the following information:
P2096: Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 1
Fuel Sys 1: CL
Fuel Sys 2: N/A
Calc Load: 67.1%
ECT: 203*F
STFT B1: 4.7%
LTFT B1: -2.3%
MAP: 20 inHg
Eng RPM: 3241
Veh Speed: 76mph
I am going through my engine bay to see if I have any intake leaks or loose vacuum lines. I also read that it might be an O2 sensor or exhaust leak. It doesnt sound like I have an exhaust leak (noise wise) but I will look for any black soot at connection points.
Any thoughts based on the above information?
Thanks!

Just under 124,000, I am not sure as I bought the car from the original owner only a couple of months ago. I was trying to research how to test the O2 sensor to see if that’s the culprit prior to purchasing a new one.
Thank you for the suggestion. Question about that, is that the O2 sensor towards the end of the header where the cat meets the mid pipe? If so, I believe that gasket might be going out. Could that bad gasket allow enough air in to throw off the O2 sensor?
