Being this code is for bank 2, and you only have bank 1, it seems bogus.
Reset it and see if it comes back.

Check for vacuum leaks.
"L" and "Y" formed hoses are known to crack.

Reset it, and see if it comes back. Check to see if your spark plugs are black.

lots of things, carbon build up, light detanation, fouled, too rich fuel mixture.. I checked the plugs, they still are in like new condition, a little fuel smell on them nothing serious tho. I belive its the gas im using ... when i use shell it never throws the code, but chevron seems to make it throw... (i use 93 only)
