Hey guys Im getting codes p2198 and p2198 randomly on my car. I clear em and after a few days they come back. Basically says car is running rich. I had the pre and post cat o2 sensors replaced last year so I'm sure I can rule them out. Any thing else I should look for? Thanks for your help
This might help. F430 CEL with P2198 (O2 Sensor Signal Biased/Stuck Rich Bank 2 Sensor 1) - FerrariChat.com From another site:- I had a CEL for P2196, the root cause being an overfilled petrol tank which resulted in the vapor management system being overwhelmed. No work required to fix other than clearing the code and being careful not to brim the tank next time.
I checked this post already. I have this issue even when the tank is near empty. Any thing else I could check?
I am not a mechanic. If you think over fueling could be the issue you might want to flush the tubes and change the charcoal canister and see if that helps as mentioned in the link. Anybody else have any ideas?
Any direction on which tubes to clean? And where the charcoal canister is? I would love to get this issue resolved
Again, I am not a mechanic. Hopefully someone with actual knowledge will jump in and give you some advice. I would hate for you to blow air into a hose and ruin a part in the system. Could cause more problems than you have now. http://www.ricambiamerica.com/car-diagrams/ferrari/v6-v8/430-group/f430-05-08/fuel-tanks-and-union.html ANTIEVAPORATION DEVICE - Ricambi America, Inc.
Change the charcoal canister. I did this to my F430 about 4 weeks ago. It is in the left hand side, rear. You'll have to remove the left engine panels as well as the left rear wheel and mud guards. I think I paid $220 for the canister, not an expensive fix.
