A few weeks ago my IS200 got a CEL. I've got a code reader constantly plugged into my OBD-port, so I immediately checked the error code. It turned out to be P0135 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1.

I didn't panic, since it didn't really affect the engine performance, but i think the fuel consumption went up a bit.

My local spare parts store wanted £200 for a new O2 sensor, so I ordered one from Ebay and kept driving. The delivery time was around a week and I needed to use my car to get to work, so I just crossed my fingers and hoped nothing bad would happen.

A few days later I started my car to drive home from work and the CEL started flashing along with the TRC light. I read the following codes:

Also, I could feel the car wasn't running on all six cylinders. I drove it home and let it sit until I got my new O2 sensor.

I'm not sure how old O2 sensor should look, but I've got a feeling they should be a little bit cleaner than this:

I replaced the sensor, reset the ECU and started the car. It was still running on five cylinders, so I checked all the spark plugs. 1-5 looked fine, but number 6 was wet and smelled petrol. I cleaned it a bit and then swapped it with the number 5 one. After putting everything back together again I turned the key and the engine was as smooth as ever :w00t:

I just thought I'd post this in case someone else experiences the same thing in the future.

Wonder if you've got an ignition coil on the way out?

I had six unused ignition coils lying around, so I replaced them after I got the car running again. I've also ordered a set of new spark plugs, just in case.
