Hey all,
When I first got my 2000 Explorer EB last week, it had the check engine light on. Got it checked out, it said bad o2 sensor. So before I replace it I wanted to do my weekend fixes first. When I changed out the fuel filter, that made the check engine light go away. A day later, the check engine light is back on. Haven't had it checked yet, but I guarantee it's the o2 sensor again. Does this mean one of them is going bad and the new fuel filter fixed it for a day? Or could it be the wiring? Are there any tests or checks I can do to see if it's actually bad? Would love to hear your opinions.
Edit: From my memory, the previous code I was getting was a P0036. Which indicates bank 1 sensor 2.
