P-0460 : Fuel Tank Level Indicator Circuit Error
P-0133: Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response (bank1, sensor1)

could anybody, hrm, "enlighten" me mainly on the P0460 code? Is it trying to indicate that my gas guage doesn't work?
P0133 I'm assuming could possibly be due to a bad O2, correct?
Also, my "Fuel Cap" light came on today, which is why I scanned for codes. It didn't wanna go away, until I cleared DTCs of course.

The fuel cap can happen because of either a huge EVAP leak or the little seals/o-rings in the gas cap have gone bad.

Slow response is usually due to a faulty o2 sensor, but I would really like to have a scanner on it to watch it and see exactly what it's doing. Read Glacier991s thread on o2 sensors, a lot of good information in there.

The circuit error is probably because of a bad sending unit.

that's what's interesting.... I've never had a problem with my fuel gauge, and even still works fine.

and I wish I had a scanner so I could see what exactly the O2 sensors are doing... unfortunately I can't afford one of them ODB2 connectors to hook up to a laptop
