p1133 bad o2 sensor

Hello,
I was driving from the mall and I got the service engine soon light. I immediately went to autozone and they pulled only that code. He said the o2 sensor wasn't responding fast enough.

I bought the sensor and now I want to put it in before dark. Any suggestions or hints?

Does this diagnosis sound right?

thanks

O yeah, he said the problem was on the left bank which and that it's the driver's side sensor on the y-pipe.

you know better than this.

Post the code, not the counter monkey's interpretation of it.

P0133- Upstream heated 02 sensor slow response (lazy sensor) (Bank 1 Sensor 1)


Sounds like he was correct

Hey guys, I did it. It took about a half an hour.

I used a pipe on the end of a crescent wrench (for torque) and that was a huuuuuge help.

The hardest part was undoing the plastic connectors. The harness was zip-tied to the frame, and it was a pain getting clippers in there to cut it out.
