Confused
A buddy of mine has a '97 or '98 F150 with the 4.6 V8. He bought a Superchips chip off of ebay and he's been having problems ever since. I think it may be the chip causing the problem, but in case I'm wrong heres what happened: He went to have his truck inspected and they told him his engine was misfiring, one of his O2 sensors were bad, and not much else. I used my X-cal2 and pulled:
P0135 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
Where should he look for this sensor? What are some things he can do to remedy the problem? He's not too familiar with his truck (neither am I) so we need all the help we can get.

I think bank 1 is the passenger side, and sensor 1 is the upstream sensor before the cats. I am not positive on that tho. Someone will be along if I'm not correct.
P.S. How many miles are on your buddie's truck?

skilife17, Thanks atleast now I know where to look. 
tkondro, I don't think he did, that's why I think the chip is causing the problem. Since he bought it on ebay, I think we may have a hard time getting help from Superchips, but it's worth a shot.
Any other suggestions?

If its the chip he should be able to check by removing it & resetting the ecu. If the code doesn't come back its the chip. You muct have a chip programmed to your ecu. The code is on the ecu & in the door pillar. It will say calibration on the sticker

They replaced mine under warrenty.
