Out of town and having a problem
Hey guys I apologize if this has been covered before but I didn't find anything with a quick search and I'm out of town for a wedding so I don't have a ton of free time.
My main o2 sensors appear to have gone bad somewhere along the way with the installation of the long tube headers. I'm getting codes p0130 and 0150 for the primary o2 sensors and it's affecting the driving a bit. I don't want to drive the car four hours home like this if I can avoid it. Any thoughts on swapping/plugging the secondary o2 sensors into the plugs for the primaries and using this for the drive home? Would that work?
Basically I don't want to fork over cash for dealer prices on primary o2s if I can avoid it and just order new ones when I get home.
Thanks for any advice.

This place is a joke.

When are you driving home? Have you checked with the local parts stores? If I were stuck in a similar situation, I'd unplug both primary sensors and see how it runs,the ecu should default to a backup mode,but I'd expect your fuel mileage to take a hit. Be careful crawling under the car,use jack stands! Is there a pepboys nearby?

Did you come right with your P0130 code? I through a code of this tonight while doing some data logging runs. Cleared the code and didn't return but wondering still?
