I cant remember specifically what that code is but it looks really familiar. If I recall correctly that has to do with your headers.

In more detail the headers are letting more air through your system faster and the second o2 thinks there is a problem.

Thats why you have to put the o2 extender on the 2nd cat.

So...o2 extender. RRM sells them or go to advance auto parts

No. The filter does not read air. Your MAF does that and unless you fudged it up during the install it should be good. Thats the code. O2 extender.

I have a Ralliart, but I had the code for a while also. But it was after I cleaned my intake manifold. Somehow I had a leak on my intake mani, (the bolts somehow loosened) so I would check there. I would just check everything to do with air to be sure. I spent 2 hours with my car to find my leak. Good luck to you!

Scratch what I said about the header thing. I remember that code all too well now. It used to plague me during the summer but go away during the winter. After my turbo build I just got a cel and guess which one it is? That same one. I'm chalking it up to a vacuum leak.

But what led you to believe its a timing issue?
