p0138 code

guy at autozone said its O2 sensor getting high voltage, Bank 1 Sensor 2. said it will run rich....just wondering how bad it would be to drive with a bad o2 sensor for a bit? because i just dropped about $700 on suspension and an inner tie rod/boot. thanks

Isn't P0138 the rear O2 sensor? If so, leave it.

The only reason it will come back is if you did not fix the problem... so unless you fixed it... expect it back.
