You could always go in for used car parts from reliable sources which are very affordable and lost lesser than new car parts. For that you may either visit local scrap yards or auto salvages and even search google for automotix which has a large inventory of used car parts which they even provide a warranty for.

Nothing comes on when I put the key in and turn it. I don't have an aftermarket alarm system. Here's a picture of the 80A fuse which is for the battery. All the other fuses have the wire connected inside but not sure if this one is blown or not.

Good find  :)  Wonder why someone would cut the data link grounds?  Does the check engine light bulb check when you turn the ignition on?  Maybe they took the bulb out.

P1133 is the Bank 1 sensor 1  A/F sensor response code.
P1155 is a Bank 2 sensor 1 A/F heater circuit code

Inspect the wiring and connectors for the A/F sensors.  Make sure there isn't oil or other fluids leaking onto the connectors.  Make sure the wires haven't chaffed on something or got burnt on the exhaust

For the P1133 you need a scan tool to look at the O2 sensor information.  The A/F sensor is what they call a wide band O2 sensor.  The only way check it is with a scan tool that can get into the ECU's data stream.  With the scan tool information you do a A/F sensor response test by either adding propane or creating a large vacuum leak to see if the A/F sensor responds correctly.  If the A/F sensor responds properly then you need to drive the vehicle and see what the computer is doing with the fuel trims to see if you have a lean or rich problem. 

For the P1155, the heater circuit for the B1S2  A/F can be checked with a volt meter.  You can also ohm out the heater in the O2 to see if it is open.

Success!!! I finally got the data link connector to read. The problem was that someone had cut both grounds behind the the data link and put the factory wire sleeve back over it. (Hiding it very well I might add). I fixed that and now I'm having a different problem. Now I'm getting P1135 and P1155 codes. (A/F sensor bank 1 sensor 1 and bank1 sensor 2). The weird part is that the check engine light isn't on. Anyway, I know that these sensors are on the exhaust manifold somewhere. I found one at the top front of the car, which I am assuming is the bank 1 sensor 1, but I'm not 100% on that. What I am looking to know is where exactly are these two sensors and what would cause the check engine light not to come on if both are bad?

Do the headlamps come on or do the warning lamps light up when you turn the ignition on?

Does this have an aftermarket alarm system?

Thanks a lot for the help discrete I really appreciate it. Ok I think it's tight enough. So once I got the harmonic balancer and belts on another problem arose. My car will not turn on! :( The last time I started it was a month ago with a newly installed alternator and all I have done since then was swap the new alternator that was in it with the old alternator and changed out the damaged harmonic balancer and key with new ones. I got my battery completely charged and the fuses look fine. I swear if it's not one thing it's another with this car. I have no clue why the car is not coming on. I even tried jumpstarting it and the car still didn't receive any power.

I took out the new alternator a month ago before this whole process because this harmonic balancer fix was a higher priority so I returned it to the store and got my money back. Could I have done something wrong to cause the car to not turn on when I switched the new alternator back to the old one?

Wow, now I can't even get this bolt to loosen. Is this sufficiently tightened to keep it from becoming loose after starting the car with the belts on?
