p1133..popped it this afternoon
Was exiting my garage to go to work,and there was crap load of snow on the street,so i had no other choice but to go over it(car is lowered),went over it,and MAYBE i ripped one of the wires on the o2 sensor since i popped the code maybe 5 mins after...i do have the zzp header/downpipe combo with highflow cat,and deleted the cat efficeincy code with hp tuners,have the kit on for about 8k now so i dont think its anything else but the o2 sensor wires or the sensor itself..afr is at 14.5-15.5 at idle...any help?
Bad o2 sensor?

Thats an O2 switching code, its not a circuit code.
Someone else posted this with that header I think. They believed it to be the design of the header not placing the o2 sensor deep enough into the exhaust stream causing the insufficient switching code.

I got the same code today as well. This is the first time I have ever gotten it I think it may have something to do with the fact that my CAI has been iceing up so bad the car won't even rev past 2k. This morning I couldn't even get the car to go above about 30 km/h so I took the hose that runs from the blower to the pipe that does down into the wheel well where the air filter is then stuffed a hair dryer into the tube that goes to the air filter and let it blow warm air through the filter for about 15 minutes, then re connected everything and used my aeroforce to clear the CEL and havn't seen it again since although I've only driven like 30 kms on it

That's a link to the GM service information document. You just have to put up with some bs adds. I couldn't copy and paste it cause it wouldn't paste correctly. Click the link that says proceed to download, and the click the download now button.
