Did this fault ever come on before the chip?

See my thread here about the same topic: oxygen sensor replacement

Do you have a repair manual like Gregory's handy to check the troubleshooting section for a recommendation on the action required?

I'll check my manual tonight and advise.

try $40-90

o2 sensor isnt required to run the car, infact most poeple with forced induction dont run one at all...
it detects how rich the car is running and ajusts the fuel accordingly

i paid $41 for a new one (not genuine) off ebay and it was delivered to my door ($35 +$6 postage)

to change it its, simple as hell
1.purchase a single wire o2 sensor
2.move car into a suitable location and allow the engine to cool down
3.once engine/headers are cold enough to touch remove air piping
4. unplug o2 sensor whcih is on the passengerside header
5. using a smallish shifter/C spanner undo the o2 sensor
6. put the new one in and tighten it
7. plug it back in and bang there u go

pretty simple

Just checked repair manual and codes not in there.

Check your car's owner's manual, must be in there.

Car is running 96, engine light didn't come on before chip was put in, I will do a fault test though and see if connection is loose or of the sensor needs replacing
