Chrysler Repair: P0132 code, dodge ram 1500, oxygen sensor


Question
2003 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi. Filled up with 1/2 tank of gas to top off the tank before a trip. Went about 30 miles and accelerated to pass another car. Engine started loping and running rough. Engine stalled and when i got it started again, the engine idled very rough and hesitates when i accelerate. I rain a diagnostics code on it and it gave a P0132 code. How do i fix this problem?

Answer
Hi Terry,
That code is for a bad oxygen sensor, the one on the right side of the engine at the exhaust manifold. It looks like a spark plug and is replaced similarly but soak the threads with penetrating oil overnight before trying to remove it. Becareful with the wires as they are fragile.
Sorry for the delay, I just saw your question in the 'pool'.
