I took my
1998 Ford Contour SE
2.0L DOHC
to auto zone this morning because i got one of those wonderful check engine lights. He connected it to his machine and he looked at me like he had no clue. I saw the machine say P1131 but thats all I really know. It seams to run the same and the light is bothering me. Any ideas??
He said that the code might not be right that it could be another sensor malfunctioning to cause w/e this is to go crazy. One other thing. When you get going in your car shouldn't the doors lock automatically. Could that be a fuse or something
All suggestions will help thanks.

P1131 Lack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Lean - Bank No. 1.
Meaning... you need a new 02 sensor/ unplugged/ faulty.
Put that # or my description in the search function under "troubleshooting" and make the time frame range to ALL. Common problem.

Ive been an avid Neco member for 3 years now. (Search for my name: Nemesis) Im not a n00b troll, so watch who you talk to like that. And as a matter of fact, I helped the guy out and gave him a link rather than saying "just search".

Yes.. if you clicked on his link... it explains EXACTLY what he needs to do. There was nothing "wrong" with what Nemesis did.  Not only did it "enlighten" the person to use the search function, it shows how well it works.
