Well I took the car to the track this weekend and on about my 5th pass, I got a SES light when I hit third gear. It was a very quick shift for me (M6), and it came on. Now I'm looking for suggestions on what it may be.

I took the car to autozone, code thrown is a lean o2 code on bank 1.

I noticed that my A.I.R. hose seems very loose from the lid to down underneath the fuse box on the driver's side. But I don't know if it is disconnected somewhere along the line. I don't know if that would cause a code for the car getting too much air or not.

Definitely need to do some investigating and would like to know where you guys think I should start.

Thanks, Justin

run it... that will happen from time to time.. are you power shifting?

 

[01MRMTransAm]

Nope, but that shift seemed fast. Wasn't a powershift, but I didn't let up for very long at all. Of course I'm no pro, but I felt like I was driving pretty decent for not powershifting.

It can be the O2 sensor going out or the bank is a bit lean. Reset the ECU and see if it comes back.

 

[01MRMTransAm]

Reset ECU??? Wow this sounds noob, how do I do that? Do you mean clear codes with a reader? If it is running lean, could it hurt the car, I mean like burn hot and cause piston damage?

 

[QTRPNDR]

lol.. unhook the batt.

 

[01MRMTransAm]

That will clear codes? Shit nevermind, I think I did that on my LT1 trying to clear up an o2 issue. I had forgotten about that

 

[lbz34]

Damn computer, repost.

 

[01MRMTransAm]

I guess I should mention that the car is 100% srock except for a lid

an easier way to do it is put the key in the on position(dont turn the engine on) pop the hood. take the 2 pcm fuses out, wait about 10 seconds then put them back in. get in, start the car and the ses light should be off

Its an o2 sensor, when you get new ones get the bosch corvette ones, they are cheaper and last longer. That A.I.R. crap has nothing to do with it. Whats the actual code that came up? I'll get the part number for the o2's you need later.

If it is lean the ECU will add fuel VIA fuel trims. No need to worry about hurting the car. Worst that will happen is fouling plugs, IF it is indeed lean (which would only be part throttle anyway).

100% of the time, works everytime :lol:

Well thanks guys, seems like it just decided to drop that o2 all of a sudden lol. It doesn't pull as hard all the way through the RPMs, but that is just because of the extra fuel correct?

If its the front o2's, it will run like shit in normal driving, but wide open throttle will be exactly the same because it goes into open loop and the burnt o2's won't have any effect on it. If its the rear o2's, the car will have an SES light but the way the car drives will not be effected. What is the exact code that came up Justin?

Edit: If its the o2 sensor, it will be a bosch 1311.

 

[01MRMTransAm]

Exact Code is a P0131.

The car drove good under normal driving, but did not pull as hard at WOT.

 

[PUN1SHR]

P0131 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1= O2 sensor is fucked.

 

[01MRMTransAm]

So that's the front o2 on the driver's side? Why didn't the car behave like you said it woulda?

That I don't know, I've gone through quite a few O2 sensors, and the symptoms I've explained are what always happens to me. So I'm confused about that one. Your drivers side front o2 is definitely shot though. Check for any exhaust leaks too while you're under there.

 

[01MRMTransAm]

Will do, I haven't heard any exhaust leak whatsoever. But it looks like I may have headers soon, working an internet deal hopefully it all comes through there. so I'll replace the o2 while I'm at installing those.
