I had my check engine light pop on the other day and had the codes read at my local Advance Auto store and it showed a code of 1163. This supposidly ponts to the oz sensor closest to the engine block. The fact that the check engine light came on didn't surprise me since Iv'e been putting up with that pesky miss in the engine at slight throttle pressure. After reading this forum on cleaning the EGT I did so and fixed that problem. Now I'm getting ready to go on a long trip in the Insight and wonder if I should replace that oz sensor before I go or not. I had the codes reset and have not had it come back on as yet. I'm concerned about possibly damaging the Cat converter by ingnoring the code. What does everyone think? Should I replace it or ignor it hoping that nothing is wrong and maybe it was a fasle alarm? I know the sensor is $200+ but thats a lot cheaper that the converter.. HELP
