Did you reset the ECU after you changed the 02 sensor? Is it not giving you any other codes?

When you throw a code on OBD1 for O2 sensor it can mean 2 things.

1. Its a bad O2 sensor
2. Your A/F ration is off.

Fix your exhaust leak first, and look for something like leaky injectors. If that doesnt fix the problem, it lies else where.

yea i reset the ecu.. and no not any other codes. when it comes on I just pull over and restart the car than it goes away till i get on it again...and if i try to hit vtec sometimes it will trow a code # 22 witch is the pressure switch and i cant figure that out eather.. I got enough oil. I just need to install my gauge to find out how much pressure im running.
