Ok guys, here's a stumper.
My CEL was lit up for a while, so i got it scanned.
Sure enough, it was the bank one upstream O2 sensor.
So, I replaced that O2 sensor. I start up my car, and after not 10 minutes of driving, my CEL lights back up...
Any ideas?

Or just because your code said it was the O2 sensor, maybe it was an underlying problem.
If your code says O2 sensor at the LEAN limit. maybe it isn't bad.. maybe it is working, and SENSING that your car is incredibly lean...

Ususally an air leak upsteam will throw the lean codes. I'd look at any intake you installed for gaps, loose fittings or stuff like that.

I had a lean code not too long ago, and its cause was one of the two upper intake vacuum hoses broke at the 90* joint. I accidently broke one after cleaning the intake and after it was replaced, the code went off all by itself

Yeah that is also true. It might not have been the sensor itself. Or now that the sensor is working properly, something else isn't!!! hehe Get it rescanned at AZ and write down the exact code. You'll find help from there.
