I did take it in and get the codes cleared but didn't think about disconnecting the battery to clear the memory. Will try leaving it disconnected while I'm at work today then drive it some this evening after I get home.

I just replace an O2 sensor due to error code P138 coming up on a scan. Now I'm getting a P171 (Lean) with rough idle but apparently running well at speed after a few short trips totaling about 60 miles. Is this one to worry about or does the computer just need more time to adjust to the new...

Experience strikes again, you guys nailed this one! Stopped at the dealership to pick up a sensor this morning, ended up finding it at the fourth one, $91 with Uncle Sam's cut. It started right up after replacing the sensor and is running as if nothing happened. It seems that my '96 XJ is late...
