Default CEL Solved

I had been getting a CEL after 40 minutes of running and stayed on until I shut the engine off. Whether it was off for 1 minute or 1 week it would always come back on after 40 minutes of continuous running.

While replacing the starter I went ahead and replaced the O2 sensor, as I expected it was the issue, problem solved. 89 auto

Interesting, so the light would be off _until_ you drove for 40 minutes ... what code was it?

Never pulled the code, if the sensor didn't fix it that was next. Stock thermostat, at least that what I asked for when I replaced it 2 years ago.
