Default Calling electrical gurus. Reduced engine power.

Calling electrical gurus. car putting out codes. Electrical gurus,
I recently got hit by the reduce engine power codes are p1125 app system and p1276 app sensor 1 performance. This problem has shown up I'd say 2 out of the 100 times I have driven the car.

I'm planning to send it in to the shop and have them clean the grounds to see if it will eliminate the problem, but my question is which grounds should i have them clean??? Any pictures would be much appreciated. BTW Bill if your there your expertise would be much obliged.

There are over a dozen grounds. Start by looking at every connection to the frame under the hood. And, connectors to them. If "search" is working for you there's a bunch of stuff here on faulty grounds.

All the best.

What year is the car? What kind of climate has it been in? If I were going to have the grounds cleaned I would have them all done.
