CEL HELP?

Receiving codes P2097 & P0420 on my Stock C63s , i have seen some of you post these same codes but after running DP. Was wondering what would be causing this on a stock car? Thanks

Your ECU is flagging a cat as questionable. That says rich mixture is not reduced as expected...


The last thing you'll want to do is replace a new cat to find out... "same difference!"

Changing or swapping L/R sensors a pretty good idea to exercise connectors.

How are the fuel trims:
trustable in-line -Or all the way near bad??

(All these parts should be replaced in pairs to keep the banks near balanced)
