So car gave me P0302 code, misfire on cylinder #2.
I;ve pulled coil off and took out spark plug and they looked good. I inserted spark plug into coil and tested for spark and there’s strong spark coming from spark plug.
There was also sparking coming from red circled area (in the picture) is that supposed to ground to the engine? It’s metal plate (magnetic core) and there was spark coming from it to engine if I held it closely.

I would think I’d get CEL with vacuum leak?

I was wondering if I could inject some propane into intake with car idling, simulating rich condition to see if AFR sensor responds.

What I’m wondering about is does AFR sensor have same wavelength as regular o2 sensor? I hooked up my oxygen sensor tester and it showed “lean” range without fluctuating.

So today I’ve removed front o2 sensor and it turns out to be different part # that Ive ordered.
It is 89467-33020 so which would be this Denso part # 234-9010

So this makes this car California compliant? Is there way I can type in VIN # somewhere and check if it is CA emissions car? I called dealer earlier and they said it was 50 state emissions compliant.
Sticker underneath hood is for V6 engine so that tells me it was previously wrecked and I can’t go off that sticker.

Recently I’ve acquired a Scheffield oxygen sensor tester and according to it sensor 1 bank 1 is bad (stays in lean range all the time) So I’ll replacing it and I’ll update if this solves the problem.

Did you properly check the level? You don’t just pull out dipstick like you do with engine oil. It has to be at hot/operating temperature and has to be in park.

How is appear that it needs to be flushed? Is fluid dark/brown, smells burnt? How many miles on transmission? How is the level of fluid?
