Re: Check engine light is on?

I'll soak it with some "crown" its like commercial WD40 but twice as strong.

He once told me they were sometimes suckers to ...

Re: Check engine light is on?

Its the original O2 sensor, the car has
168 000KM or 105 000 miles.

I think I will be changing it, its not hard to reach at all and I know were it is, but I hope its will come out of the exhaust manifold without breaking or without any problems.

Thanks for the help guys!

Code 15 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (Inactivation)
Code 17 ...

Hi guys, I have an 1993 Mazda Precidia, 1.6L 4Cyl, SOHC.
