P1283 - possible fixes ?
THe other day the car finally threw the code P1283. I have the non-foulers on my t-pipes and had them installed since day one when i installed the t-pipes. I have been running this set up for 2 yrs. now but never had any problems until now.
I searched on here but did not come across any long term problems that people have running non-foulers. Is there a reason why after 2 yrs the code would pop up?
Can the o2 sensor be cleaned at all or does it have to be replaced?
I know my car is burning oil as well, so could this have also caused the problem? (burning oil residue depositing on the o2 sensor)
How long can you drive the car with the code being like this or does the sensor need to be replaced ASAP? Is there any long term damage that can be done to the car / performance if the sensor not swaped out?

I'm sure with burning oil and how the car is running (rich?) along with temperature changes during this time the o2 sensor is getting a work out.
Try disconnecting the battery overnight and see if the light comes back on. If it does then it may be dirty. I'm not too sure how effective cleaning it would be, or even how to go about doing it.
You won't hurt much except your fuel economy...
