Interesting, so an o2 code doesn't necessarily mean you have to replace the o2 sensor? I have a 91 Civic Hatch 1.5 that threw a code 1 yesterday and hasn't thrown it since, I drove it 100 miles after shutting it off after the CEL light appeared. I wonder if the o2 sensor can be cleaned.

Some will say yes to the cleaning some (like me) say no.

they are so cheap for our cars, it's kinda silly to not just replace em

I agree, I do have two extras, one that is in my spare engine which is rather new I might just take out and replace it with if I get that CEL for that again.
