February 2, 201412 yr I am new to the forum and I am sure this is somewhere within the topics. Any help would be appreciated. A little history, I own a 2007 Subaru Legacy w/ 2.5 H4 SOHC and 57,000 miles. I just had the head gaskets and sparkplugs replaced. I had the expensive head gasket oil (no coolant) leak. Took it on a road trip and averaged 30 miles to the gallon. After returning home and putting gas in the car, I got a CEL and flashing cruise control warning lights. Checked it with my Actron and received the P2097 post cat fuel trim sys too rich bank1 code. I then checked the live data, my Cat is running temp is 800+ degrees, the upstream o2 is 3 volts the downstream is .8 volts. Any ideas what it could be or should I check something else in the live data?
February 3, 201412 yr Cat running hot would be due to unburned fuel in the exhaust. Thing is, your cat is running a bit cool, if the temperature reading you have is in degrees Fahrenheit. And assuming its accurate.
February 4, 201412 yr Author Does that mean my sub is running rich or is there a problem in the ignition system. I don't have a fuel smell coming from the exhaust or any smoke and it is not chugging.
