I have a 05 Nissan 350z that has always had a P1274 code on since I owned it (purchased used). If I erase the codes, there is always a pending P1274 and even sometimes a P1283 code comes up (not always). Could these be a faulty O2 sensor for sensor 1/bank1 that can just be replaced? Or something unrelated to the sensors themselves. I live in upstate NY so the temperature fluctuates here often, but the car is stored for the winter and only brought out during the summer, but this year I am having a lot more trouble with it for passing NY inspection. I just don't want to spend the money on replacing the O2 sensors and then see the codes still come on and it be a waste of money. Car had some after market parts on it from the previous owner (not my choice), one being a cold air intake, which I thought could be contributing to the problem. I did just clean the filter and the codes still come on pending right away. Any help would be very appreciated. No one has been able to give me a solid answer. Thanks

if the code comes back, replace the both bank 1 and 2 sensor 1. there may also be an ECU update for it.
