Hello. I own a 2004 Hyundai Elantra gls.

It has approx 160k kms on it. I took it to a mechanic to replace my high pressure power steering hose.

Also replaced spark plugs, air filter and cleaned maf sensor. Car ran great for few hours then out of nowhere my idle started to bounce from 800 to 2k rpms while wither driving or parked. When it jumped it makes an audible click sound and CEL light flickers each time it does but usually never leaves and codes. Main code i get is bank 1 02 sensor hot.

Ill try to upload some code pictures i took and a short video of this happening.

What i have done so far.
