I have an astra gsi c20xe and the ecu light came on last night for about 10 mins during a long journey. i have just done the paperclip test and it has shown code 13 which is oxygen sensor.

My question is, my car has not got a cat, would this be the reason why the oxygen sensor has come up?
Also would oxygen sensor cause hesitation when cold?

Thanks

is it a pre-cat engine, or has it had a de-cat ?

you can put a pin of the ecu to ground disabling lambda, can't remember what pin it is though
