    Code : P2A04 Oxygen sensor question

    The P2A04 code keeps returning w/ CEL. Bank 2, Sensor 2..... There is a Bosh version, but I prefer the AC Delco? A bit more expensive, but I wonder if it's better to get the OEM part. Also, I can assume if one is failing, I should go ahead an replace both bank 2 sides?

    My AC is nice and cold. Blower is strong out of all vents. Once in a while, the blower speed goes 'up and down'. Could the windows open, be a cause? Anyone have this issue before?
