Hesitation got much better and the error code went away. Should I go ahead and replace the o2 sensor of should i investigate for injector leaks before i replace the sensor? Also if I should replace the sensor what is the part #? Before Starter Catalyst, Left or Right) or After Starter Catalyst?
PO139 code is an aging (dying) sensor. Don't understand why it would effect your cars hesitation on acceleration. The 02 sensor monitors the efficiency of the cat. Clear the code and do a spirited drive....and then check for the code again. Might go away and not come back.
