My baby is throwing a "172 (c) HEGO (HO2S) FAULT-LEAN" code...

I'm thinking something to do with the intake? I noticed that when it threw this CEL, there was a loss of power.

Could this possibly be an intake related code?

I hope to god it's not a O2 sensor, I can't afford that $hit right now...


<-this one will have to do, since I can't find the :KickedInTheNuts: smiley...

im afraid it could be i had a similar if not the same code on mine when i bought it

and when i finally save up the friggin 60 damn dollar to get a new o2 censor o noticed the power increased a little so i got the code erased and 1 1/2 days later the same code came back so i musta changed the wrong one

Is it OK to drive the car while it's giving this code??

im not completly shure if thats the same code
as mine but if its the o2 censor

ive driven my car 2k with it on
