Please help...engine throwing code...P1132 Lack of SWT Rich H0251

does any1 know what this means or what is wrong with my car? is it a problem with the MAF??

urgent help preferrable. thanks guys.


Edit: if i clear the code...is it safe to drive the car? or will it hurt it? thats one of my biggest concerns...it being a DD and all.

 

im trying to read about it and im finding stuff about oxygen sensors...from what i can read the sensor may not be working...so the computer is giving the car more fuel and making it run rich to try to wake up the sensor, in a manner of speaking...and thats why im getting a code thrown?

so is it a problem with the 02 sensor/wiring?

i know its only been like 3 mins since i originally posted...i just wanna get to the bottom of it asap.

thanks in advance for any help btw guys.

 

P1132 Lack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Rich - Bank No. 1

sounds like your 02 sensor thinks your running rich.

 

yea i think that makes sense. cuz my wideband started just leaning out like crazy and the rpms started falling. so if i understand it right...my 02 sensor thinks im running rich...so my car is leaning out to compensate...thus the drop in rpm?

i guess i shouldnt drive it even if i clear the code. anybody know about how expensive 02 sensors are?

thanks for the reply rbstang.

 

02 sensors are pricey =\ i think they like $50-$70 or something.. i was gonna replace all 4 sensors when i swapped midpipes and i was like wow.. that expensive for a POS sensor...ill just keep the ones i have...

 

if i cleared the code would it be okay to drive? ive never experienced this before so im pretty ignorant about it.

 

no idea... i get so many codes.. i just clear em and go..
P1260.. theft detected or something dunno bout that one
P1000.. ECU Learning new configuration
A7P00 or something dunno wtf that is.

 

yea im just afraid that if i clear the code itll start leaning out again...lean + forced induction = bad day for me.

 

so if i clear the code and drive it...will the computer be reset so that it will throw it again if it happens again? or will the computer ignore it if i clear the code? again...sorry for my ignorance.

 

bump...educate farva lol.
