Check its output with a voltmeter--it still may be OK and outlast the exhaust pipe it is attached to! Should read around 0.6 to 0.7 VDC. Jay

Aaaaaaahhh, Any secrets on getting the oxygen sensor out without major damage. I've soaked it with WD-40 and another product (can't remember the name) for hours. I've cranked to the point that something is going to break. Any big secrets here. My van was running fine on a recent trip then BAM, 10 mpg for the rest of the trip. From looking at archives it looks like the 02 could be the problem?? Any other ideas? It's running a little rough and rich now too. thanks Russ Harrel
