I knew it would happen sooner or later, I got into my car to drive home,and my service engine light came on,I had to drive it home like that,but I went to a nearby Auto Zone to get it scanned. Two codes popped up, 3242 , and 134. The 3242 pertains to the oxygen sensor, the other code I'm not sure of,I'm hoping someone here knows what it might be. A funny thing happened , I had put about a 1/4 bottle of Gumout in my gas tank two hours earlier,after i left the Auto Zone,the light went out,I got home and i shut off the engine,then restarted it, no more light, i would like to get some feedback before i go and order an oxygen sensor ,the readout says : Definition: Heated oxygen sensor-bank 1 sensor 1 (H02S11)
sensor circuit no activity detected


Explanation: Air/fuel ratio concern -lean or rich

Probable Cause: Open or short circuit concern
Faulty H02S11 Bank 1 Sensor 1

The car seems to drive normal,was this maybe one of those freak things or something that i should address right away,I would appreciate any and all feedback on this,i'm sure others have had similar problems,thanks.
 
IIRC Andy posted a list of codes and their meanings on here, you just need to do a search :wink:
 
Hi, yes i did as a matter of fact, i did it twice ,i ran it till the idiot light came on, not a good thing i know, i don't know what i was thinking,you think this might have caused it ? I drove it today to and from work ,and had no problems,no more Service engine light.
:driving:
 
My light always comes on before I fill up, but the time I had problems the trip computer said there was 8 miles to go or something. Won't be doing that again :oops: It could be your problem, or then again it might not :D
