Threw a P1133... is there even such a code, or is there something wrong with my interceptor? I throw my P0420 (CAT deficiency) cause of my header and dp, so I know that it is reading that right! Any input?

 

In the future search first please. The p1133 is the heated o2 sensor code on the header. All it means is the o2 sensor on the header is not heating up fast enough. Most likely the built in heater in the o2 sensor is bad. Does not effect anything besides throwing the code

 

i just posted a thread exactly like this.
i looked up the code and it is described as insufficient switching of the primary o2 sensor. switching means the cycles from rich - lean and lean-rich when not in PE mode (idle and cruising). basically its not transitioning enough times according to the parameters set forth in the pcm.

I still am not sure what causes it though. from what i've read its either poor sensor positioning in aftermarket headers/dp, or the sensor itself is taking a dump.

*edit* just did some research.

I did search where I normally do for thrown codes and WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND IT.... but thank you! nothing to worry about cause I am going with hahn soon

 

my car threw code,replaced o2 sensor fixed.....it will mess with car i think, tell computer wrong ****,cause it to run diff

 

yeah i get that code like every 100 miles lately i plan on just buying a new o2 sensor

 

when mine went bad it ran like ****,and got real bad gas milage

 

how much was it for a new one? like 40$ right?

 

im getting that code now and it idles really rough...so u replaced the o2 sensor and it was fixed

 

i bought one from autozone,cause i work there, it was like $140.00,fixed problem

 

ohh weird, thats the first time that I got that one... I'm hoping a one time problem... or it could be because I have a header and D/P... maybe that wrecked the sensor?

 

Winner.

Very likely. It happens more than you'd think. After months/years of operation without being moved, sometimes all it takes is a little twist to wreck the wires.

I got mine off Ebay for like $30 ages ago. I think they normally go for about $70.

 

I was thinking of finding some used ones from the wreckers when I switch my D/P because i think the threads will be f'ed. Does anyone know if the O2 sensors (both, either) are the same for all balts? LT's, etc?

 

i dont know if they are all the same but i dont think i would take one from a wrecked one either...u dont know if its gonna work

 

ya they are the same. its worth a try as long as the car you get it from doesnt have a **** ton of miles on it.

 

45$ at auto zone lol

 

i dont know if i trust autozone either they have did me wrong twice within a week
