Default Cleaning O2 sensors?
Has anyone tried cleaning thier O2 sensors? The last several times I have looked at them on atap, they were switching pretty slow. Plus my ltrims are very inconsistant. I am thinking I need some new ones but dont have th 160 bucks to replace them right now. Just thought that if I could somehow clean them without damageing them might help.

I'm not sure that they can be cleaned without damage. But I would wait to clean them until you have the money to get new ones...just in case IMO.

Actually I have only put about 8# through it in the last two months. Maybe that is my problem.

the only way you might be able to clean them would be with a torch to burn any carbon off of them. i heard this somewhere before.
