Header install and now o2 codes

So this has been an ongoing problem that I cannot seem to fix

I installed a header and right after got the following codes

P0132 and P0135

Well ive replaced the front o2 with 2 different sensors and the codes still wont go away. The wiring on the plug is also fine. I just realized though that my header is touching the coolant pipe, do you think this could be grounding it out making it malfunction?

Thanks

doubtful, the 02 sensor is self grounded, thats why it has 4 wires. heater, ground, 0-1v, and a reference iirc...your problem is not the header touching the pipe.

I dont think you understand, the car is running rich because the o2 is maxing itself out, this was before we even started tuning. Per Vince I need to fix this before we continue doing logs to update the base map. Tuning your car with problems will just cause more problems.

oh ok, i just thought whenever you change a part on a car, such as an exhaust piece, its gonna be running a little different. i've had an exhaust code for a while now with no issues, just thought i could get that code erased when i get tuned

Well it can but it depends on what code its throwing, did you pull it? Mine is maxing the o2 out meaning its grounding itself out somehow.

You shouldnt just get a code erased when u are tuning....

Look into whats causing the code in the first place. If it is the P0420 code than, yeah just erase it. That code does nothing in terms of altering the tune.

Also, when u change parts on the exhaust side a tune is not really required.

Although, tuning for your mods is always beneficial in the long run.

you are running rich. it could be anything from an intake leak behind the the MAF to an exhaust leak(pre cat). dont throw money at sensors utnil you know what is burning them up....
here is my guess ... you have CNP ignition. Your problem probably starts with an A..and end with dvance.
Or as we call it"round hear"?...,tune issues

Someone read my post, WHAT? i guess 2012 is really here!!!

This problem started when i installed the header, so its either the wiring or the fact that the header is touching the coolant pipe.
