Question on resetting a P0133
Question: After having had these Kooks on for a while, the car finally tossed up a P0133 the other day for the Bank 1, O2 #1.
I had thought that you could reset the code using the DIC. I went into the diag mode, hit reset to get into manual mode, went to the P0133 code, hit reset to reset it...and nothing.
How can I clear that P0133 code? I'd like it to go away - hate looking at the CEL...
I'm hoping it was mostly a fluke thing, since the headers have been on the car for almost 1000 miles now, and it just now decided to toss out that code.
Failing that, if it decides to keep coming back, should I replace my front O2's, or do the LG move-the-rears-to-the-fronts trick, and use O2 sims for the rear?
Thanks for any guidance,
-Jake

As well, I'm assuming there's no harm in beating on the car still while this code is set, since the O2's are only a part-throttle closed loop dealie?

Re: Question on resetting a P0133 (JakeL)
you need to hold down reset while that code is present. It'll take a few seconds, the DIC will beep and all is well. the CE light will go off. Perhaps the code was a fluke. if not, u could just do what you stated and use the rears in front. no sense in buying new fronts just to hope they fix it when you know the rears will fix it per LG
im sure it could affect part throttle drivability and throttle response but it should have no effect on WOT.
