hey guys,
i just got a CE light on yesterday and got them scanned today, and i got p0133 and p1189, now before i change anything i need to know this.

i have a crack in my exhaust manifold, it can be heard, and you can definately smell it in the cabin whenever the ac or heater is on (MUCH worse when heat is on) what are my options as far as fixing or replacing my manifold?? not too fond of paying 1k for a performance manifold. any ideas? and would that trigger one or both of my codes???


TIA.

What are those codes translated to?

P1189 - Mixture deviation cylinder 4-6

P0133 - O2 sensor control frequency (bank 1, sensor 1)

I would suggest swapping O2 sensors and see if the problem follows to the other bank.
