Why would you clean it? Mine is dirty and it works fine.

Re:can i use gasoline to clean my O2 sensor?
 

i dont know, but i used gasoline and now there are three new check engine light codes

P1298 manufacturer control fuel air metering
(this code wont go away, i cant erase it)

P0135 o2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 1 sensor 1)

P0141 o2 sensor heater circuit malfunction (bank 1 sensor 2)


last week a code came on "P0132 02 sensor curcuit high volts (bank 1 sensor 1)" so i cleaned the o2 sensors with gasoline and now these new codes are on, does anyone know what they mean?

oh yeah and we unplugged the o2 sensors and the codes still comeback, my friend manuel hooked up the air fuel gauge like a year ago and we checked the wireing and he said that he hooked up the guage to ground instead of a positive or something and then he fixed it and we cleaned the sensors and then they came on

hmmm, surely if the sensor reads fuel and is covered in fuel it is gonna ---- up the readings? common sense? ???

If you are going to clean your o2 sensor... you should probably be buying a new one... kinda like when we used to clean the old air stock filters cause we are too cheap to buy the $3 stock replacement filter.. and then bitch cause the filter doesn't work.... just get a new sensor... unless you get the k&n o2 sensor with cleaning kit.. then you should be ok cleaning it :)
