The thread is like three years old, I haven't been paying attention since I got my answer. It's entirely possible I've missed some conversation along the way.

When I turn off the car and restart it again it starts regulating again like there was no problem afr’s are fine again. Do I need a new lambda bank2 sensor?

hey guys, i'm reopening this thread as i dont think there was a final answer to it. I'm going to be embarking on this journey myself shortly I wanted to get a final answer. It sounds like if you live in colder climates its best to keep the heating element connected within the PCV system?

Just for context, I'm going to be installing relocated inlets and an oil catch can but trying to see if I need to find a way to route my hoses to retain this Heating Element as well. I noticed the error codes from another member but curious what others have seen/done.

Thanks

I think some people have even dove into the code and I don't recall ever feeling like I made a mistake and took it off. I don't even know where this part is anymore and I've never seen anyone asking to repurchase one. I live in the desert where some years I don't even need to run my pool all night to prevent freezing, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
