if the light stays on when restarting the car u have a problem.

if the light goes off on restarting its the oxygen sensor...it just needs replacing which is very easy can be brought for a fraction of the price at a motor factor, and can be done in 10mins!

when mine went the main problem was that my acceleration would be jumpy and not smooth through the revs due to too much air, or not enough air getting to the engine.

hope that is of some help.

primary reads air intake , secondary reads exhaust..if the primary sensor goes out ur ecu will think there s too much air and flood ur motor with too much gas..if ur exhaust sensor goes out light will come on and the the ecu will think ur burning real clean exhaust..either way ur going to get a read light coming on
