After getting a check engine signal I retightened the gas cap then
discnncted battery for 10 mins which gave only 1 minute of the check engine
light being off so this AM had Auto Zone read the code and it's 1166 -"fuel
meter related" according to AZone guy.This 84K flawless miles car runs
great.Suggestions?
Thanks

P1166? As in OBD-II reader form Autozone?

That seems like oxygen sensor heater malfunction. Verify the failure
with ohmmeter test. If so, get a Bosch *planar* type sensor. Autozone
will lend sockets for free. Do both upstream and downstream, might as
well.

I don't like those P0420-causing Denso old thimble sensors.

I hate the Dodgers.

O2 sensors aren't typically covered under the emissions warranty.

You need to try the psychic hotline instead. They might be able to
guess what make and model car ou're talking about.
