It's not your o2 sensor. Your engine putters right before the code comes on indicating that your air/fuel mixture is lean (too much air). It could be a vacuum leak. It could be a problem in your fuel system (fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors). Or maybe even a random misfire. Do a compression test and see if they're all within a close range. Does your engine have an EGR valve? It could be a sign of the EGR valve sticking open and choking the engine.

What engine does that have?

P2195 O2 snesor signal biased/stuck lean B1S1

Description:

A heated oxygen sensor inticating lean at the end of a test is trying to correcto for an over-rich condition. The test fails when the fule control system no longer detects switching for a calibrated amount of time.

Possible Causes:

Electrical:

  • Short to VPWR in the harness or HO2S
  • Water in the harness connector
  • Open/shorted HO2S Circuit
  • Corrsoion or incorrect harness connections
  • Damaged HO2S
  • Damaged Powertrain control module (PCM)

Fuel System:

  • Excessive Fuel Pressure
  • Leaking\contaminated fuel injectors
  • Leaking pressure regulator
  • low fuel pressure or running out of fuel
  • vapor recovery system

Induction System

  • Air leaks after the mass air flow sensor
  • Vacuum leaks
  • PCV system is leakiing or the valve is stuck open
  • Improperly seated engine oil dipstick

EGR System

  • Leaking gasket
  • Stuck EGR Valve
  • Leaking diaphragm or EVR

Base Engine

  • Oil overfill
  • Camshaft Timing
  • Cylinder compression
  • Exhaust leaks before or near HO2S

Edit: Without hooking up to the scanner and seeing the fuel trims and live data some of the above would be hard to diagnose.

96 Expy, you've either got the 5.4 or the 4.6 (96 was the last year for the 4.6 in the expy)

Concerning O2 sensors, there are multiple O2 sensors in this vehicle. There should be at least 1 for each exhaust bank, but most likely there are 4 sensors in total. You can crawl up under your truck and look to see how many. Find out which ones were replaced and why. Also make sure that they replaced them correctly. While you're under there, check for any exhaust leaks that may be present.

Start with the Induction system. Pop the hood, check (listen) for any vacuum leaks coming from the engine. Go ahead and run through the list that ^ was nice enough to post.

I'm guessing this isnt an electrical or EGR system problem since you say the problem is intermittent. This leads me to believe that you may need to have your fuel injectors or your injector rail replaced.

Before you go and get that done, start with the small, simple stuff.

Good luck!
