bgambino Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I would like to replace the O2 sensor in my 91 loyale 4wd non turbo wagon Whats the procedure to get it out without ripping the threads up? should I but the special socket or will a box wrench work well enough? should I put anti seize on the new one? thanks I'm getting a 3-2 light pulse....car seems to run okay,,,,maybe a tiny bit rough...anyone know? I've had more lights come on this sub than all others I've owned since 11/1979 thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 02 sensor; replace if you can. Don't sweat it if you can't. Pretty cheap item for a single wire generic O2 sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 will gas mileage suffer? do you need a special wrench? What kind of cost do you think? thanks Yes, probably... that is if you mean if you don't replace it. 22mm wrench; or there is also a special socket that has a cutout for the wire to slip through. $25-35 Edit - Oh, and don't just go yanking it out. They tend to stick in their bungs, and then the threads just rip off and you have to run a thread chaser though its... well, its bunghole. Follow removal procedure in manual. end edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
