I have those same two stupid codes but I'm turboed. i don't think it would be a good idea to run seafoam through my system. Eventually they went away for about a day then came back. I replaced my first O2 sensor and cleared but it came back. It seems as though my idle triggers it. Because its fine when driving but as soon as I pt it in park or neutral bang! My idle dips and the CEL comes on. I do have a lumpy idle (650-900) I don't have an aftermarket FPR so I'm kinda stumped on what to do.

If anyone has a tip it would be greatly appreciated!

ive been seeing alot of cars (evos tho) that have this problem when there injector scaling is all screwed up and the code is comming from one of the long term fuel trims is maxxed out (+ or - 12.5%) but it could also come from low fuel pressure as the OP found out

I would first change out that sensor since both of those codes pertain to the 02 sensor. Then reset the cel and see if anything comes up.

I actually erased the codes without changing the O2 sensor and the lean system code when away and the O2 sensor remained. I changed the O2 sensor later that day (today) and no more CEL.

I am happy to report!

Just wondering where would i find a new tactrix cable? This is the OBDII plug plus the other little white one right? Because I want to alter my ECU and flash it.

The bigger black one is the obd II port, the little white one I think is called the boot strap? could be wrong but I do know you need the cable that has the whit plug too because its what is used to trigger flash mode for the ecu so you can overwrite it. I have been turboed since november now with both 02 sensors still in and wideband installed self tuned and I havent had a single CEL
