I'm Awesome
For quite a while, it's been throwing an 0175 code: system too rich bank 2. I tried messing with the 02 sensors, and I got the downstream right bank done, but the upstream is basically welded in; impossible to remove without taking the whole exhaust off, and putting it in a vise. I tried soaking it with oil, wrenches, 02 sockets, etc....nothing.
In addition, every time I shut the engine off, or even just cycle the key on/off, I get a very noticeable gas smell in the engine compartment. You can even smell it outside the truck.
I drive it so rarely, I think it's been doing this ever since the new engine went it. I know the original motor had a bad injector, so I gave my mechanic a new injector for #8. This guy does side work in addition to being a full time mechanic, and while he's a damn good wrench, he's very flaky and hard to get in touch with. I kept using him because he did most of the smaller work for free. He said he knew what was making the gas smell, and attempted to fix it, along with my HVAC problems....that was a year ago, and he's been MIA ever since.
So he left me with a half fixed truck, and I don't know exactly what he did or didn't do.
What causes that code, and I'm assuming it'll be related to the gas smell? What do I look at for all this?
