Optional Information

1998 Saturn SL1 4 cylinder

Already Tried:
nothing yet just used the OBDII reader and it said P0133
which in the book is O2 circuit slow response (bank 1 sensor 1)
So I trying to figure out is it an o2 sensor or is it something else.

Accepted Answer

Hello XXXXXXXXX, replace that upstream oxygen sensor. Slow response indicates that it is sluggish and replacing it should cure your issue.

Does it hurt to drive a week with the bad sensor?

You should have no problem for the week. You may use a little more fuel but no harm at all.
