P0131 O2 Sensor Circuit - Voltage Low (Bank 1 Sensor 1) B
P1128 Long Term Fuel Trim - System too Lean (Bank 1) B

Maybe a MAF Sensor

Precatalytic oxygen sensor will cause both.

thanks guys. i took my car to autozone and the first and only code i had was P0131=low voltage bank 1 sensor 1.
i then messed around with all the o2 connectors to see if there was moisture or a bad connection and they looked good. i disconnected the battery for 30min and the light came right back on no hesitate at all. i then went back to autozone and the scan came up with P0131 and P1128.

2 questions
1. where is bank one sensor one. i know its a pre cat but is that on the driver or passenger side?
2. Low voltage? is that a sign of a bad sensor or just one that isnt connected right?

Bank one is passanger side. A bad 02 sensor will cause a low voltage signal. If you have anywhere near 100k miles it would be wise to change both pre cat 02 sensors. As they get lazy so does your car.
