02 question

hoping someone can clear this up for me. the question is: what would most likely cause a known good 02 sensor to set a code indicating slow response? thanks dennis

Is it fullly seated, is the tailpipe clogged before or after it, is your SVX pouring raw gasoline across it?

Those are the main things I know of that piss off the newer Subaru ECU's in regards to 02 sensors.

thanks for the reply xt6.i'll have a look at those spots and make sure they are ok to rule them out. i'm also getting a pretty good leak on the rocker cover on the right side as well so when i change the gaskets i'll have a look around at the 02 wires thats the side i'm getting the code on. thanks for the tips. dennis

not positive but i believe if you are leaking oil onto the connection of the 02 sensor then that could cause the MIL to become illuminated.
