Hi guys.
So my 93' 2.3, 2wd ranger didn't pass emissions, high Idle. I started getting code 172, lean bank 1 on and off a week before. I had previously changed my o2 sensor because of the same code almost a year prior. I also started getting strong exhaust smell outside the truck around 3 months ago.
Well I just investigated and it's clear somebody tried to take my cat but just quit. There's a a saw mark on the engine side about two feet away from the new o2 sensor. I did a smoke test and it's smoking bad. Could this cause a lean bank one code.
I smoked tested for a vacuum leak and the egr smoked from the venting holes. 2 years ago this didn't stop the truck from passing emissions but I'm wonder if this leak on the exhaust is causing the code.
