i got cat delete and i also got the o2 fixed in the rear o2 sensor . Since i got my car and i never got the code before , it was pop up when i took off the front o2 sensor and it said bank 1 so i thought i should be the front one. It's that can be cause by exhaust leaking ?

any recommed? need help

hmm then in that case im not sure. It could be a damaged connector maybe for where the 02 sensor wiring clips into?

Not sure that is weird. Just delete the code with your tuning software
