OK so i replaced all 3 of my motor mounts got in and started the car. As soon as I started it the CEL came on. I got the code. It was 4 long flashes and 1 short. I am not sure if this means 41 or 14. From what I found 14 = IACV circuit problem and a 41 = heater system error.
My heater does kick out from time to time so I have a feeling that is what it is refering too. However I was planning on cleaning my IACV today anyway as part of a big tune-up I have been working on for a while.
My first question is, if it is the heater system is it OK to ignore?
if it is the IACV will cleaning the valve solve the problem or should I replace the valve?
Also if it is the heater system is there a way to turn off the code so it doesnt constantly lite up the CEL?

I checked my O2 sensor and it is in there tight and all the wires are tight coming up too it. You think this might mean that my O2 sensor is dead and it was just a coincidence, or i knocked it and finished it off, that it happened when i was replacing the front motor mount? Any advice would be appreciated. Also how much does an o2 sensor usually cost?
