Bored now
I've had a CE for awhile now on the 93 ATX; light would usually come on after a couple WOT events and once it came on it would go on / off for the duration of the trip regardless of driving habits. Finally checked codes a couple weeks ago, 176 & 177... front 02 lean or not switching, front 02 rich or not switching. Sounds like a cut & dry problem.
Replaced the 02 sensor last week. Hit full throttle several times on the follow up test drive, no light. Problem solved.
Two days later, there's the damn light again after a stab of the gas to merge with traffic. And now it seems to come on without the need for a hard accel, only moderate gas is required to light it up. Once it lights it's the same behavior as before; sporatic on/off for the duration. A check of the codes today gave me the SAME 176 & 177, that's all.
Car seems to be running fine. Fuel mileage is approximately 26 highway which is spot on this car.
Anyone have thoughts on where this problem lies? Perhaps my front bank really is running both rich & lean
