Need help diagnosing a code:
Code P1053 (Bank 2 Sensor 1) O2 Sensor Ckt Slow Response
1997 RangerXLT 4.0L 68Kmiles.
Check engine light comes on intermittantly,
goes out after a while after day of driving or so.
If I erase the code the check engine light stays out a
few days but comes back on.
No leaks at sensor or the visinity.
How do I know if the sensor is bad or not, any tests?
Is 68K miles early for an O2 sensor to bite it, shouldn't they last 100K?
If bad what does this part run cost wise? Best to get from Dealer or parts store?
thanks in advance
