The P0431 error went away with the new O2 sensor. Mine was after the pre-cats. I was going to install the Bosch sensor into the anti-foulers, but it wouldn't fit. Apparently, the diameter of the "reader" portion of the Bosch sensor is slightly larger than 1/2" - which is the size of drill bit I used to drill into one of the anti-foulers to make room for the O2 sensor. If you're running the original O2 sensors, a 1/2" bit will provide for enough room. If it's a Bosch O2 sensor, you probably need to look at a 5/8" bit or the next larger size.
