I bought one at Mastro right after i swapped in the bigger turbo and it was 150.

Good luck finding the issue .

^his car has eaten several of these now... even with a brand new sensor, the same code was popping up until it "mysteriously" went away.

Well that was only the p0134 code. that code is not there anymore. its now only the p0030. and like i said, i was playing with wiring so that may be the issue. i kind of hope its just a new sensor, but it wont be fixed for awhile. why why why!

^hahaha nick, sorry man.... when I asked "does it sound like somebody slapping a screwdriver against the intake manifold" and you said "yes!" with some sound of hope in your voice... that was painful for me, lol


Matt, 2 things: have you reset the ECU? Also, moisture in the connection could be the culprit. Theoretically, unless you melted or cut the wires (or yanked on them REALLY hard), you shouldn't be able to disturb them like that. Check the blue-heatshield wire and the connector near your GM BCS. Take a can of compressed air, clean the plug and socket, reset the ECU and see if that helps.

well i did a search on nasioc and a few people that got the p0030 code had there o2 sensor wire too close to the head. when the car would heat up, they would throw the code. i reset the ecu when the car was cool, once it heated up.. it threw the code. gonna make sure its not too close to the head before anything.

hopefully its just getting too hot and doesn't need a new sensor... O2 sensors are pretty damn sensitive, I know someone who broke a brand new one by dropping it on the ground from only about 10" up
