"After some driving error disappeared)) it self." Good On ya'! If the computer gets happy, happy, happy it turns the CEL off so you should be good to go. Mine hasn't coime back on yet either.

I live on the SC coast near HIlton Head and now here comes Ernesto keeping life interesting. Saying we'll get 40 to 75 MPH sustained winds and LOTS of rain. Bad thing is, the action starts at dusk Wednesday and intensifies all night long and I hate being in one of those in the dark. Got my trusty 120V generator gassed up and we're ready for the worst, so about all we can do is hunker down n' let 'er blow.

CEL came on yesterday afternoon so guess I'll get the O2 sensor replaced. Part is $51. and guy said he'd do it for $50. so that blows $100. Pepperionis.

The storm was a big flop and all we got was 2" of rain and 20 - 35 mph wind gusts.

I looked at the Bank 1 Sensor 1 and it's on top behind the engine next to the firewall sticking up like a sore thumb. Went to Auto Zone and Bosh Sensor $41. and change and rent on the removal tool set $20. It took me 15 minutes to change it out and I used a half inch 6" extension and ratchet and it's a piece of cake. So, I saved about $58. bucks on that deal and I can get me a six pack of O'Douls and enjoy the afternoon.
FYI - Ford dealer wanted $129. just for labor to change the sensor which did not include the sensor cost and I changed it in 15 minutes. Hmmmm . . .
It does cause one to wonder . . . .

EDIT Saturday 9-9-06. Drove 235 miles in five days and the CEL hasn't come back on. Thanks for everyones help getting this aggrivating problem resolved and, thanks to this great forum, my total cost out of pocket for the PCV, grommet and O2 sensor was about $47. and an hour or so of my time. :-)
