I did a quick tune up on my car... when i swapped the spark plugs out oil fell in the cylinder (the gaskets are bad) so when I turned the car on it smoked for like a minute or 2.
Turn the car off and back on again and it stopped smoking but it threw a code 41 o2 sensor heat element. So I ran to the junk yard (very broke right now) and picked up 2 of them for $20.
Swapped out one and it threw a code 01 (bad o2 sensor) but it did it intermittently. So i swap out the other one and it threw a code 41.
During all this the car idled and ran great. It did not hesitate or bog. there was no change in the performance of the car at all. I have been driving the car like this for a week now with out an issue. except the very bright CEL light on.
Any thoughts on this ... could it be some thing other than the o2 sensor?
