Hey all, hoping to get a bit of help or suggestions with this code. After checking the code it says one of the o2 sensors is reading to lean of a mixture. I started with the basics and cleaned out the throttle body and replaced the air filter. Light came back on. I may try replacing the 02 sensor next but with the little bit of rough idle I have I think theres a problem somewhere and not just the 02 sensor reading incorrectly.

I'd like to clean all the sensors off the intake manifold but not sure a safe chemical to use.

Any tips or suggestions to go about with this code?

Thanks.

Btw this vehicle is a 96 Intrepid 3.3L V6.

Any electrical parts cleaner can be used to clean the sensor.

Sounds like the o2 sensor may have to be replaced, at least you tried other options before just buying parts.

I will try cleaning the sensor. The weather is starting to warm up so ill try and get to the junk yard and just take an o2 sensor from there. May as well grab a MAP sensor there and see if that fixes the problem.
