Hey Canis –

Thanks for posting. I only own a code reader cause my car has been like Christmas every week for 5+ years – bright lights popping up for various reasons. 21 year old car, stuff happens.

I live in the USA – North Carolina. Fortunately, the state says cars 20+ years are not tested for environmental car issues like O2, Catalytic Converter, etc. So – I can just watch the check engine light turn on and give it a raspberry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_a_raspberry

Then when I get home, pull the code reader out of the glove box and clear the codes.
It doesn’t happen that often. I recently had both battery cables replaced, due to the car shutting off + hard to start. So – maybe this will fix the O2 issue also. The new cables help the car to start with a lion's ROAR.

Hope you are well and avoiding the crappy Covid.

Cheers,

Tom

FWIW the throttle position sensor is $100+ here in the states.
