P2098 code and a engine light.

[dan]

Car is a 2006 Chrysler Seabring Touring with a 2.7L V6, it also has about 130,000 miles on it.

I am currently experiencing no symptoms at this moment with the vehicle, neither is the owner, i recently did some repairs on the vehicle, the vehicle would at times randomly sputter or stall when it came to a stop and went to accelerate, plugged the scan tool in and i was getting three speperate codes, one for the camshaft position sensor intermittent failure, one for catalytic converter inefficency, and one posted P2098 post catalyst fuel trim too lean bank 2.

I attacked the first and biggest issue and did some research on the camshaft position sensor, seemed to be a common failure, so i checked the sensor and its wiring and connections, wiring was good, so where the connections, so i replaced the sensor and no more issues with that.

I erase the codes take the car for a test drive and everything runs good now for the most part, the car has 130,000 miles with mostly factory parts so i suggested next she get a tune up, plugs, throttle body clean, replace 02 sensors.

now are there any common failures that would cause this code on this vehicle that any of you know of, i know a clogged up fuel injector can cause a lean condition, so can a intake vacuum leak, but i am not getting codes for low manifold pressure nor am i hearing any hissing under hood, i personally think the car needs a tune up with 130,000 miles and stock parts, what do you guys think?

As you pointed out a lack of fuel or vacuum leak could cause that code. I looked up the code and common causes on that vehicle. Seems that the O2 sensor or an exhaust leak can also cause that code.

Keep us posted.

will do Eric, and it seems the PCM for this car can be very picky about what 02 sensors to use, the young lady also wants me to do a tune up, i recommended new plugs and such, i would also recommend new 02 sensors anyways seeing how many miles it has on it and still has all the factory 02 sensors on it.
