Default engine light

for the last couple weeks, my engine light been going on. it's pretty random too. some nights it'll go on while other nights it'll be fine.

i recently changed my spark plug seals, yesterday actually.

Check you're code on the ECU. Lift up the carpet on the passenger side to find a blinking light. Then look in a manual or online to see what the code is.

alright, just went out for a 20 minute drive; street and freeway hoping my light would come on so i could check the ecu. yet again, the light decided not to go on... like it does randomly. will come on sometimes while other times it'll stay off for a few days. i'm thinking it's the oxygen sensor. diagnose my problem. PLEASE!!!

up!

so i finallly caught my engine light. there was one blink.. then like 2-3 second pause of no blinks.. then another... and repeat. so i'm guessing that is just code 1 since there were no constant blinks. thats my oxygen sensor then?
