Run through exactly what happens from when you put the key in to when you put it in gear and drive it.
I turn the key , the CEL light pops on, then blacks out (blinks) for 1 second, comes back on and never blinks again, it just stays on (unless ofcourse I turn the key off and back on) this happens both with the paperclip in, and out.
I just want to make sure that initial 1st blink isn't NORMAL for all CELs, and that the 1 blink (o2 sensor error) is my actually problem.
