help with engine light codes
my check engine light is on so i went to oreillys and its throwing off 2 codes. p0135 which is something about the o2 censor and p0128 which is something about the coolant temp. My cat was off the car when i got it but i put it back on so could that be the reason for the o2 code? but what about the coolant code? whats that about?

P0135 is an issue with the heating element for the O2 sensor. Likely fault is the sensor itself, but it could be the wiring too (corrosion, short, spread terminals).
P0128 means the engine isn't reaching operating temperature. Check your coolant level. Could be low. Could be a fault with the ECT (engine coolant temp sensor), stuck open thermostat, cooling fans running too long, faulty IAT (intake air temperature sensor). My guess would be one of the first 3.
