GM p1133 = Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Insufficient Switching Bank 1 Sensor 1
more than likely you have a bad oxygen sensor...the primary oxygen sensor in the exhaust BEFORE the catalytic converter.

But here are ALL of the results - so you can take the action that is relevant in your case.
DTC P1133 is most likely caused by one of the following:
* Fuel pressure - The system will go rich if fuel pressure is to high. The PCM can compensate for some increase, however, if it gets too high, a DTC P0132 will be set. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis 2.4L, Fuel System Diagnosis 2.2L.
* Leaking injector - A leaking or malfunctioning injector can cause the system to go rich.
* MAP sensor - An output that causes the PCM to sense a higher than normal manifold pressure (low vacuum) can cause the system to go rich. Disconnecting the MAP sensor will allow the PCM to set a fixed value for the MAP sensor. Substitute a different MAP sensor if the rich condition is gone while the sensor is disconnected.
* Pressure regulator - Check for a leaking fuel pressure regulator diaphragm by checking for the presence of liquid fuel in the vacuum line to the regulator.
* TP sensor - An intermittent TP sensor output will cause the system to go rich due to a false indication of the engine accelerating.
* O2S 1 contamination - Inspect O2S 1 for silicone contamination from fuel or use of improper RTV sealant. The sensor may have a white powdery coating and result in a high but false voltage signal (rich exhaust indication). The PCM will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered to the engine causing a severe surge or driveability problem.
