Hi guys im having poor idling when starting up the car, and black smoke coming out of the exhaust. Ive noticed few holes along the exhaust system would that be the cause? sometimes sounds like a lawn mower and when i accelerate is slow to respond? any ideas?
PS: engine light fault code p0521 ( Engine Pil Pressure Sensor)

Check out market place for a S/H exhaust,
Then get it re-scanned.

So bought a s/h exhaust midsection and replaced it along with 2x brandnew O2 sensors and still having the same issue on cold start? Please refer to the video below. the engine light is as mention for oil oressure sensor.

24mm Deep socket and a new OPS will fix that.

Always best to fix the indicated items first, get them out of the way,
Then work on the other unknow symptoms,

Side note,
Check the wiring and connector to the OPS,
being its located just above the exhaust manifold, it subject to a fair amount of heat.
