Is it bank 2 sensor 1 or sensor 2. 1 is upstream, 2 is downstream.
Did you have the negative cable off while replacing it?
If it was sensor 1 and you replaced it, next would be to check the wiring for shorting.

Yes I did pull the negative batt. When I replaced it. Is thier a fuse for this o2 sensor ? And I have to check the volts coming into the terminal of the o2 sensor. It back fired a little on me this morning while coming to work. But then it ran good after. It back fired when I started to go up the overpass.

Plenum is clean. New wires. Spark plugs. All new sensors on tb. New o2 before cat. New cat. New muffler. New coil. Clean tb.
Check engine light came on again. Damn. It runs good on the highwY. It did not stall or sputter on me today coming to work. Shifting great. Don't know.

Isn't there a way to get the code if a light comes on? Like turn the ignition on(not start) then off, then on three times?

I tried to get my codes also doing this trick in this video:


But it didn't give me any codes, actually it did nothing so now I am wondering how do you guys check the ABS codes ?
