Well I'm sixteen and only have about 200 bucks to my name and all the sudden the CEL comes on while driving to autozone. It surged like 5 times and then the CEL came on Other than those surges it runs fine just as normal.

I pulled p151 or 1151 or something like that is says fuel/air mixture so I'm pretty sure its rear o2? So now the question is due I spend my money on a tuner, new o2s, or some mil elimenators? I wish I had the money for a tuner but I don't. Do you think cleaning the sensors would work?

If it's a P1151... your front drivers side 02 sensor is probably bad. $60 at autozone. Mine threw that code a few months back.

Yeah I went out to auto zone and had a friend of mine look it up on the computer. I could seem to find the one that I was looking for though. Do you remember what brand you used? Also did you use the universal model or the oem?

Thanks a bunch G-dawg but I figured out the problem! I found out that I just needed to clean my MAF sensor out! I just got done cleaning my filter like last week then boom check engine light. So I put one and one together and I just finished a 20mile test drive to make sure it stayed off.

Cool...! O0

It's nice when you don't have to spend money on something like that. I have other things I'd rather spend my money on... :drunk:
