nvillanu,

I always thought that the OS Sensor where codes 1221-Primary, 1222 - Secondary, 1223- Lean/Rich Detect (Primary), 1213 - Lean/Rich Detect (Secondary)

1242 is A/C Compressor Singal happens when there is a ground fault(Short Circuit)

You should contact member "SoCal-ti" he knows where to find the codes.

Hope this helps!

<do you know where i can find the equipment to scan my car> The local Autostore will carry a scan to read codes or both. You are looking at a price range from $70-$160 duckies or you can go to www.BavAuto.com they save them as well. Just tell them your car's info and they will send you the right one.
<Where are you from?> San Diego Area for now, going to school full time and (finger cross) hoping to be at Cal State Long Beach by Fall. You?

Outie,
