O2 engine codes

[Stonewall]

Does anyone with a VR6 make ant sense of these codes?
I figure at the very least I have a toasted O2 sensor but I think the engine is burning oil too and am not sure if that is connected.

My man, looks like you need a new O2 sensor. It's lazier than Chris on the family guy. As for the evap fault, Your readiness code is created so I wouldn't worry so much unless the fault comes back then you'll have to check the evap pump.

I figured at the very least it is a bad O2, I have to check the oil again but I think it maybe burning oil although if it was a bad head there would be some power loss and a heck of a lot more smoke. Do O2 sensors just suddenly die when starting up, as the code supposedly showed up when starting it Saturday morning. I believe S1 is before the cat too right?
Edit: Learning about gas engines sucks, been dealing with diesels for way too long.

Re: O2 engine codes

O2 sensors have a lifespan not like other sensors that could last the life of the vehicle. The O2 sensors are in the exhaust stream (you know that) and are subject to the crap your engine throws at it. O2 sensors are routinely replaced in some states due to emission laws.

Good stuff here. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question257.htm

Re: O2 engine codes

Thanks for the link I love to learn how stuff works. Like last night I learned how mk4 wipers can seize up lol I just expected the sensor to die during driving not startup, ohh well hopefully that is all that is wrong. I am going to do a big order of parts from the states this weekend so it anyone needs anything let me know.
