Is there any way to tell wether or not an 02 sensor is going bad?? I can't directly contribute bad fuel economy to it, as my poor driving habits tend to skew any possible hints either way, and other than crazy 02 readings during scans I have no clue if it's functioning correctly. Can I have a bad 02 sensor without an SES light?
Also, my car has 86,500 miles on it and I doubt the sensor has been changed. Whats the normal life expenctancy on these things? I'm thinking of buying one to throw on my rear manifold before I install it, to save myself some possible work down the road. Is this a good idea?
I always feel like an idiot cause I feel I bug you guys about every little thing I do to my car..........but if I can't act like an idiot around you guys who can I act like one around? :lol:
Honestly - I just want to spend my money well if I'm going to spend it. I can't afford to make and pay for mistakes
