I understand both codes I got from my ECM but which of the two should I check? Is there any chance that my only problem could be the O2 sensor and not any of my fuel injectors? My car shakes like crazy and after 2,000 rpm's car jerks and does not want to speed up.

Hi,

It sounds like you have a misfire have you tuned it up lately? This will cause both codes for the O2.

Here is a guide that will help you get started:

So far I have done spark plugs and oil filter. The link takes me no where. How do I check my car for a misfire? Thank you for the reply!
