Default Keep Throwing CEL. What the %#@$~

Long story short, my GF's road just got tar-and-chipped (which means its like fuckigng gravel) so i have to drive super slow so i don't **** up my paint....

I prob crusie in second gear @ 2-2500rpms the whole road. But in the past 2 days i have been up there, i throw a CEL#1 which is O2 sensor in the same spot in the road.

The first day it did it, i just reset the ECU and my car ran perfectly fine all the rest of that day, and the next day...

Now today i go up, and when i leave her house again today, same fuckign CEL @ the same ******* point...

Anyone have anyclue what is happening, i don't want to have to get a new o2 if i dont need one

it could b just a weird happening or w/e but check the plugs and if theye or it is fine then i would pull the o2 sensor and clean with carb cleaner and then try again if it keeps happening it could b like some weird **** from the construction but i dont really think thats possible o and check ur grounds they could b comen loose from the rattleing

02 sensor is getting lazy, they usually will get lazy in higher rpms like when on the high way when your at about 5,000. But I have also seen them get lazy as low as 2,000 when kept steady.

You could try resetting the ecu, it could of been a fluke. But I would put some money aside for a new 02 sensor.

i had that code once a while back, and i have just reset my ecu and no problems since then. i would do that first but if it keeps coming on, then replace the o2 sensor.
