A few weeks ago, the CEL came on. I took it to Advanced Auto, they gave me the code, went to the mechanic, and he said that it was one of the oxygen sensors. I paid for that repair, and by the time I came back home, the CEL was back on. I took it back, they said nothing was wrong with the sensor. They cleared the code, and it was on again within 20 minutes. Took it to another mechanic a few days later and he said the same thing. He did find an oil leak and repaired that. He cleared the code, I drove 10 miles and dangit, that light went back on! The car is a 2010 Mazda5 with 115K miles on it. This is my 2nd Mazda5 (I was in a car accident in November and the car was a total loss. The only thing I ever had to replace on that baby was tires). I never had this issue with the previous car and they were the same age/similar mileage.
The code is telling me that the system is too lean bank 1. We've replaced the o2 sensors, fixed an oil leak--what else could be causing this? I'd rather not be driving around with the CEL light on, ya know?
Not sure how long this car will last at this mileage, and since I am not the original owner, I'm not feeling strongly about its longevity (had to replace brakes, sway bar bushings, engine mount, a world of things back in December, and now it's June and I'm already out some bucks).
