Got a CEL, O2 sensor code, so I have both upstream sensors ordered. Which reminded me of this question.
I have a OBD2 reader that can clear codes, but does that accomplish the same thing as cutting power and wiping memory? I figure with replacing those sensors I probably want to do the latter, force it to relearn from scratch.
Crazy thing is a few months ago I almost ordered new O2 sensors just as a preventative maintenance thing. Kinda forgot about it, and then bam, takes a crap. It had been a little hard to start sometimes, and the other day it cranked for a good 10 seconds before finally starting up. I was thinking fuel pump, but then yesterday fired it up and immediately knew something was wrong, running really rough. Then saw the CEL. Good times, at least it's something easy.
