hi all, I have a relatively new problem with my 02 explorer.
Upon starting the vehicle there is no problems, when I go to accelerate it seems a bit rough, as if it only gets short bursts of power, after I give it some more gas it seems to work itself out relatively quickly.
My service engine soon light came on for the first time yesterday, I got it scanned and got a "P0132" code, bank 1 sensor 1. Is this just a simple O2 sensor?
I also have a feeling there is a leak somewhere in the exhaust, seems like the clamp between engine and catalytic converter, but not 100% on that.
Wondering if I should start off with the O2 sensor or if there are any other possible culprits? Thanks!
