A bunch of CEL's, what could it be?

So i been having these cel's on for like past 4 months, just getting around to doing them... anyone have a clue where i should start?



P0130 - o2 Sensor Circuit
P0135 - o2 Sesnor Heater Circuit
P0155 - o2 Sesnor Heater Circuit
P0325 - Knock Sesnor 1 Circuit


i also used to have this code when i first scanned my car 4 months ago..
it is gone now... but i didn't do anything:
P0400 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow

this is usually egr related....

what O2 sensors did you repalce them with and which O2 sensors did you change? did you get the plug in ones or the ones that you have to splice wires?

i replaced the one that is closest to the front of the car since that was the one that wasn't showing any data on the comp, and i got the o2 sensors that i had to splice.

double check your connections on the splice.
did you replace the harness when you replaced the KS?

do u know the brand of 02 sensors?










i would check that harness and spice of the front 02 sensor
the harness for it is between the radiator fan and slave cylinder( manual tranny) or in that area

the harness for the left bank is near the firewall pass. side on a bracket ill see if i can find pictures of both for you

from what i have read it maybe just be loose causing the CEL to come on

or low quality 02s

Are O2 sensors a DIY job? If i have a jack and a new O2 sensor and tools, then I can pretty much get it done by myself right? or would a shop have to do this....

not likely.

2 of your codes are heater errors. that is not a code that a KS can cause.

That KS code is most likely a Ghost code, your 02 wiring is either wrong or the sensors are bad. gonna say wiring though.
