You know, you could search, and find that out. Even generic googling would.

p0325 -- Knock Sensor/circuit
p0130 -- Front 02 sensor Bank 1
p0171 -- Fuel Sys lean Bank 1

All these codes are related to each other. Chances are that p0325 is a ghost code, 1st I'd check p0130 and p0171 codes. Check for vacum leaks, fuel pressure,injectors. Most probably the O2 sensor is gone. Do it yourself and save money. Google and FSM is your best friends

Good luck!
