Exclamation o2 sensor pulled a check engine light!

Last week I pulled a check engine light so I drove right to my buddys shop and scanned the codes, it was and o2 sensor code, so we cleared it. Well today it came back , what do I do? The car is out of warrenty and has never pulled a check engine light before. The mods are below, nothing crazy, no hi flow resonators or anything like that and the car has 43,000 m. Thanks!

An o2 sensor doesn't cost a lot. You can also unscrew the thing and see if it is choked with carbon. Clean it with a wirebrush and blow it out with compressed air. It may work fine again. Worth a shot before you replace it. They DO go bad, or get poisoned by too much carbon.

The light went out on it's own again, but well see what happens. Thanks for the help man, sounds like a plan.
