DOHC ZC code 1
 
My CEL comes on after about 3 minutes of driving and when it does, my car loses power. I have to turn the key off and then back on to reset it, and then it will go another 3 minutes before doing it again. The ECU is flashing a code 1 for 02 sensor. The only think I can think of is that I am running a PG7 instead of a PM7. Any ideas??

code 1 is oxygen content, which is the o2 sensor, make sure it's plugged in, if it is change it

I have changed it, twice and it didn't affect it at all. Could it be a vacuum problem?

Yes. If your engine is running rich your O2 sensor will throw a code 1.

Check your vac lines to your map sensor.
