Hi

Does anyone have any idea why I am getting a CEL?

My CEL says O2 sensor is stuck lean. The specific sensor was replaced but CEL still reappears after clearing the code. CEL comes on when driving at 80mph.

My 2005 Gallardo has stock cats, Gruppe M intake and Kreissieg exhaust. All sensors are in place.

I have had this happen twice on my 07 Spyder, first time I didnt know when it come on but after a few days it went off, second time I was diving slowly enough for the gear to change down itself ( 2nd to 1st I think ) and the car jerked forward and the light came on immediatly, again a after a few days and several runs it stopped, I have heard it can be the fuel cap if its not screwed in tighly also the wet thing, car washing etc.
so is it okay to drive.... i stayed under 3k revs as i had alternating 1-5 and 6-10 in orange, though car sounded fine, but wtf do i know, only had it a week!

Had this on mine initially. Lambo London changed a lambda sensor and never saw the warning again in 3 years of ownership.

This was probably a year ago and not seemed to had any troubles since then, It has been in for a service since and nothing was picked up, Mine was not changing between 1 - 5 and 6 - 10 though so that may be something different.
