Happiest day seeing the approved inspection sticker placed on my car from the NJ State Inspection. My PCM threw a P1151 trouble code last Saturday before heading to Joboo's. Started the car and was idling rough and bam! I got the SEL. Plugged in the ol diagnostic tool and surfed to my favorite code website [Only admins are allowed to see this link] . Disconnected by A/F Gauge and back to smooth idling.
I found it odd that the A/F Gauge jumped around so much. My neighbors Narrowband A/F stays steady on idle and would jump to rich when he hits the gas and head towards lean when he depresses the gas pedal. Similar to a vaccum gauge. I'm planning on going straight to the O2 sensor once I figure out which is the signal wire. Below is how I figured out the it was my A/F Gauge.
P1151 OBD Trouble Code

Technical DescriptionLack of HO2S-21 Switch, Sensor Indicates Lean

What does that mean?A Heated Exhaust Oxygen (HO2S) sensor indicating lean at the end of a test is trying to correct for an over-rich condition. The test fails when the fuel control system no longer detects switching for a calibrated amount of time.

SymptomsYou will likely not notice any drivability problems.

Causes: A code P1151 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

Electrical:
Short to VPWR in the harness or HO2S <----Bingo!! My A/F Gauge
Water in the harness connector
Open/shorted HO2S circuit <----Bingo!! My A/F Gauge
Corrosion or poor mating terminals and wiring
Damaged HO2S
Damaged PCM <--- Gauge tied into PCM
Fuel System:
Excessive fuel pressure
Leaking/contaminated fuel injectors
Leaking fuel pressure regulator
Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel
Vapor recovery system
Induction System:
Air leaks after the MAF
Vacuum Leaks
PCV system:
Improperly seated engine oil dipstick
EGR System:
Leaking gasket
Stuck EGR valve
Leaking diaphragm or EVR
Base Engine:
Oil overfill
Cam Timing
Cylinder compression
Exhaust leaks before or near the HO2S(s)
Possible SolutionsSee the above list of causes and go from there.

Just Happy Mike. For a second I thought it would show at the Inspection station. The weird thing is Inspector calls me over. At that moment I thought it was about the Nitrous (switches visible and pressure gauge), I do have a state permit for it but wasn't sure if I would get hassled by them. The inspector wanted to know where was the reverse gear (what a relief). Not time to worry about the code. Passed!! I saw him putting on the sticker.
Eric, I installed 2 new 1/2 in. clamps and so far it's good. Keeping my eye on it. I'm thinking of going to Spencer's to see if he can help. But first I need to do some research on how a new line can be installed. I'd like do it myself. Just been so busy.

Thanks Guys!
