Had Eastern Cats installed by the dealer in late October. Drove home with something not quite right as the Emissions Readiness s/DTC screen in Torque Pro showed no O2 connection even if the A/F and O2 sensors gave readings. LTFTs seem to work OK. About a week later, I had a P2A03 Pending fault code for Bank 2, Sensor 1.
Among other things, I want to check the exhaust system for leaks. It has been suggested that I could hook up and tape a ShopVac to the exhaust when the engine is cold, run it and spray potential leaking areas on the exhaust system with soap and water.
Is there any reason why this method should not work or why I should avoid it or be very careful if using it?
