code p2198

Yesterday I put some cheap gas in my DTR, drove it home and did not move it for the remainder of the day. This morning on my way to work, with the o/d off, I had a lot of hesitation during transmission shifts. So I got off work early and took it to jiffy lube for a fuel treatment flush. When I received the car back just now, the check engine light was on. So they put their computer on it to pull codes. The code read p2198 meaning (O2 Sensor Signal Biased/Stuck Rich Bank 2 Sensor 1) Is this a drivetrain issue, maybe a fuse issue or could it be the cheap gas that's making it hesitate? I find it odd that every time I purchase performance upgrades something weird happens.

Have the 02s ever been done on the car?

[cer0413]

yes because the rear cats were stolen off the car a month ago with the o2 sensors.

Bank 2 Sensor 1 is your front Driver Side O2 sensor.

It could be partially because of the cheap gas causing an already lazy O2 sensor to fail. If you end up replacing it, replace BOTH front ones at the same time.

took it to jiffy lube for a fuel treatment flush. My money is on this being the problem.

NEVER EVER bring any car you care about to Jiffy Lube, and especially never let them do any kind of "flush".

Stop using "cheap gas" and put in a bottle of Techron or Regane a couple of times a year and your fuel system will be as clean as a whistle.

I concur.
