I purchased a 98 Mustang LX V6 a while back. Check engine light came on soon after, thought nothing of it, code P1151. Mechanic stated 02 sensor needed replaced and did so. However, this past week, the check engine light has come on again, again diagnostic code P1151. This is a light driver, 2-3 days a week out of the garage. Maybe estimated 800 miles since last 02 sensor change, if that. Idle is still what it has been since purchase, about 600-700rpm.
Obviously, the answer is not to replace an 02 sensor every 6 months. Mechanic has suggested a possible short in the wiring of 02 sensor. Can anyone else help me shed a little more light on what may or may not be going on, so I can minimize time in the shop chasing ghosts?
