Re: O2 Sensor
a scan toll would tell ya which one?
was there any damage to the wiring from the drive shaft???
does the converter rattle when u tap it ??? that can set the same code
disconnect the battery and it will erase the code then go drive a few miles see
if it resets
it flashing because it's a converter damaging issue
