1133/1153?
1133/1153? Alright, I searched the hell out of this and didn't find anything except in relation to LTs or cars with modified fuel systems. I keep pulling the 1133/1153 code on stock '00 exhaust. I tried swapping the sensors with known goods and it came right back. Is this a front sensor only code? What I was able to find out said that one cause of this can be contamination, particularly by gasket maker stuff, and about 3 weeks ago I used high temp gasket maker for my manifold gaskets right ahead of the O2s, dunno if its related or not. Anyone have an idea how I can get rid of this if it isn't the sensors, or what I can check next?

I'd like to know that too.. My car has been throwing 1153 along with 0151 and a few others that have to deal with o2 sensors.. I looked at them and they all looked good to me.. I was also getting a code saying sensor 2 was bad but I know I had them tuned out because I am catless now..

Could very well be a contamination issue. Have you read through www.gearchatter.com/viewtopic8975.php
Okay thats what I was looking at, it set immediately after I used the RTV but went away for 3 weeks. What I read suggests it does not set a limp mode, but does it cause an open loop condition? Basically is it going to hurt anything by leaving the SES light on with this code because once I clear it it sets in probably 3-4 miles.
Okay, I pulled the code with a scanner that can look at the freeze frame info today. How exactly do the 4 trim tables work? Do they just add up or are they for different throttle positions?
EDIT: Nobody knows? I guess I should add that I looked at the stickies and they don't seem to include this. The car is definitely running rich as my gas mileage drops noticeably, but I'm not sure how the tables add up, it has 4 long term and short term trim corrections listed, varying from LT 4.6%/ST -3.4% to LT 92%/ST -86.7% (on that particular read). If they just stack up then its something like doubling the amount of gas its supposed to use?
