Since my dad and I have one of the auto x-rays computers, we hooked it up and scanned it. It said my Bank 1, Sensor 1 was dickin around. We cleared it, which shut off the light and it came back on yesterday. I did it once more for the hell of it, but naturally it returned 15 mins later. I'm thinkin just to buy a new 02 sensor for about $60, unless anyone has had this problem and knows of a solution. I think it's just time to replace.

Might as well replace both of the uppers while you're at it.
