Now that you mention it, I'm not sure. I just assumed it was the same code since it popped up after driving it a while. I'll double check in the morning and update you. Thanks

When the car is idling, extra fuel is thrown into the mixture so that some exits the exhaust unburned. The air pump introduces oxygen and it burns in the exhaust pipe to keep the catalytic converter up to temperature. If the oxygen isn't there to burn, the unburned gas would make it out the tailpipe.

I can smell gasoline whenever the top or windows are down and I'm at idle.
