I talked to them today and they're convinced nothing they did (including the cleaning) would have done anything to the primary and they're saying it's a calibration issue (which no, it's pre-cat and even if there are adjustments, the car should be able to make them. plenty of cars running around here with aftermarket cats and TPs and not getting codes for the primary sensors.)

They were willing to take a look and "troubleshoot the problem" but that's where I was like no thanks. I'm not gonna get charged hourly for troubleshooting when I quite blatantly tell you there's no correlation between the front and rear O2s because the secondary sensors are disabled. I'll eventually get some new o2 Sensors (123K miles maybe it's a good idea) and I'll eventually install them. I don't need the car right now.

This is Winding Road Racing. The assumption was that they should know what they are doing, and I'll take my car to the shop based on whether it's worth my time doing it or me paying someone else to do that. Respectfully, not everyone has the ability to always do everything to the car themselves.


I should put a disclaimer saying that the previous work they did was all fine. (rescuing my Z and putting a new clutch/flywheel/cmak and repairing transmission as well as corner balancing). They're by no means a Z specialty so I have to err more to my own judgment on Z specific issues.
