I'm guessing your fuel related code is being caused by the new cap leaking air.

Bank 1 is the passenger side of the car. Sensor 1 is the O2 sensor in front of the catalytic converter.

It's best if you purchase a sensor that includes the connector. Often, sensors with splices cause faults because the spliced electrical connection is weak.

Hi thom4782 thanks for being specific. Do you have any suggestion where I should buy or which brand I should buy? It seems like 02 Sensor have a wide price range between $50 to $250 starting from ebay to local stores (Autozone $ Orielly's).

Hi Paul my Fuel Flap does not work. Will it trigger a troubleshooting code? The pin that locks the fuel flap is totally out of order.

I can still go back to my Porsche Fuel cap however the OBC might be activating this code about the fuel cap.

Thanks... I'll visit Autozone with my original fuel cap and see if the code is gone.
