RE: o2 Sensor?
Thanks popo. I'll have to give that a shot. This is just one of those petty problems that is really starting to bother me. Did you take out all 4 o2 sensors and clean them? I am guessing that isn't a bad idea. I was also mistaken. The old o2 sensor was giving me problem codes P0138 and P0141. I replaced that sensor and withina few minutes of driving with the new sensor, it kicked a P0140 Sensor CKT No Activity at me.
I am planning on taking out the new o2 sensor and returning it. It cost me $70. Then I'll try the cleaning idea.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Could that have been a bad newo2 sensor? It was a Standard bought from Bumper to Bumper.The guy there explained them to me as up stream anddown stream sensors. Thesensor kicking the codes is Bank 1Sensor 2, that is downstream, correct? I am pretty sure all the o2 sensors are original. I had a bat cat last year and replaced it, but I've had probs with this o2 sensor(Bank 1 sensor 2)ever since. But get this, my MPG has been good. Highway:18-20, city: 15-17. Part of me doesn't want to screw with it. But I want everything running right, it seems to be idling rougher than normal. Help!?!?!?

RE: o2 Sensor?
The sensor will make it idle a bit rough. The Bank 1 Sensor 2 is the downstream on the drivers side. Did you get an OEM or did you get a universal? I have used the universal's before and they have worked ok but they were a pain to install due to the wiring connection. Make sure that you get the wiring right.
