P1153 I searched....
Anyways, quick bio: I just purchased my third Z, and the car is BONE stock. I mean no mods at all. Still has skip shift.
Stupid me, I purchased a bottle of the cheapo STP fuel injector cleanor that you pour directly in the gas tank. I put it in with about half of a tank (save me the flaming).
While driving it home, the car threw the infamous P1153 but 3 hours after the injetor cleanor was poured in. Every post I read is related to O2heat issues and aftermarket headers.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
would that be the passenger side? first O2? i have the stock ones out of my exhaust still, and can switch them out.
The car has 100K. The code went off within 250 miles of me driving it. I wish I could delete the AIR and EGR but I am in California. Ill check to see if the wires are too close to the headers also.
Will this code effect anything performance/fuel economy wise or is it just a dummy light to indicate my 02's are malfunctioning?
The real answer is to connect the car to a scanning tool and look at the O2 switching. If it's real slow or flat, it's a bad O2 sensor.
If it's just slow but works fine off idle you can delete the code and it will keep the O2 sensors from sticking it in open loop when it's not supposed to be there.
Good info here but you need to read ALL of it.

I have two cars that are virtually identical, but as they say tuning for one doesn't work for another.
So for one I had to delete the code for slow switching to prevent running in open loop.
Actually I could probably un-delete the code because the problem was a set of new Bosch sensors dying.
Which leads me to......
Know why people run these? Because they are mislead into believing they run hotter. Or it's just the fact they have a longer wire, and because they're for a vette they must be better.
You need to run OEM F Body replacements and quality extensions. Or do as you will and learn the expensive way like several have.
LT's or stock I NEED the SES light off for Cali smog in two years. If I have it tuned out will the smog inspection site be able to tell?
If so, tune and I am done.
If not, since I am all stock...Ill replace what I hope to be a bad sensor. From Shevrolays post, he went through EVERY 02 available, and had the best luck with replacing with AC Delco AFS97 and AFS98.
When and now IF I do the LT's ill wrap them before the cats, lightly shorten the bungs, and pray to the 02 gods.
Does this seem to be the right track?
As far as the smog inspection I have no clue. I do know that I have (if I remember correctly) four O2 sensor related switching codes shut off for the two front sensors. Every time I'm out tuning, I was out tuning earlier today, I click DTC and Readiness in hp tuners scanner and all O2 related tests come back as passed.
