Depends. Temp looks good, maybe a little hot, yet you're only doing 37mph. Just curious, does the intake temp go down, as you increase speed?

Yet your "O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2" needs to be replaced, if you want to pass emissions... believe sensor 1 is pre-cat, and sensor 2 is post-cat.

If you are after the code it is for a failed heating element in the bank 1 sensor 2 oxygen sensor. Very common. Has nothing to do with engine running temperatures. This is what helps get a car into closed loop sooner to produce less emissions.

I just wasnt even driving 🤭. I have my dad friend check it. One of the sensor broke half of it is inside the cat. So i just bought another header cat and new o2 sensor.
