2006 4.0L V6 89K miles. Been running pretty well since 'fixing' my other problems. About 100 miles since then. Had this DTC (pic attached) pop up during a quick check to see if I still had P1000 DTC. (My manual tells me P1000 must be deleted to pass my state inspection).
The P0133 was unexpected. No dash warning light. I did a Search this forum; no threads. Searched the Web, found a couple about replacing the sensors. Checked Rock Auto, no Motorcraft (the recommended sensor, supposedly Bosch sensors are suspect) upstream sensors.
I'm sure a pair from Ford will cost over a hundred, so before I start throwing parts at the car (I know nothing about electronics), what should I know about this sensor problem? Is it an intermittent voltage reading that may go away? I've put 1,000 miles on the car since buying it used; no HO2 sensor problems before.
Any comments appreciated! Thank you for your time!
