shortly after purchasing my 3.2 manual back in 2012 , the engine management system light flashed and stayed on, got this error and others I recall, and was going to have sensors moved, then read the cause could be multivarious including exhaust/manifold /gasket  as well as the sensors  so have lived with the EMS light being permanently on, and from time to time it flickers off for a few miles. Periodically, I connect my laptop and reset just to check that the warning light does not point towards some other problem - other than that - not an MOT failure, and have learned to live with it and refrained from disconnecting the light

If the flexi is goosed then air will be drawn in after the mixture control O2 sensor.....the result will be the code you are seeing.
But to exactly follow front sensor?  :-\

Indeed - what should the sensor 2 graph look like? Flat when at idle?

Well 450 miles and the light popped back on again, so looks like new CAT time.

Can anyone help me with what the sensor 2 graph should look like?
