O2 sensors

[Gutterpunk]

what happens if you dont replace a bad O2 sensor? i need to do mine, but haven't and now I get kind of a throaty sound and loss of power. I assume it's because the computer can't adjjust because it's not getting data from the sensor. I also hope I'm right and this problem goes away when I put new ones in.

Also, what's the difference (listed on SOR) between regular O2 sensors and "U" sensors?

Biggest thing is the decrease in MPG'S

The "U" stands for used. You're talking about an FJ62, correct?

Correct. Thanks.

I suppose I could just get the Bosch or Denso OE from my local autoparts store.

I have used Bosch they will work fine

 

[Gutterpunk]

Great. I think I'll go that route. Cheaper than the OEM on SOR, and not much more than the used ones--I'd rather have new.

 

[Gutterpunk]

The Denso lists a passenger side and left side, is there a difference? The Bosch doesn't have a similar distinction--can I just get two of those?

That's not a real good place to look for OEM pricewise, unless it's some cool non-USA part.

Call Cruiserdan, Champion or someone that sells OEM at alot cheaper price than Specter.
Don't get me wrong Specter is an asset , just not for buying most new genuine parts.

I'll be damned. There really is a website for everything. I already checked in with Cruiserdan, but that's a good website and a good price.

Cool site.

I paid ~$80 for replacement Bosch at my local NAPA. Not bad considering the above website will prob add shipping?

I got one recently and yes, it does.

The best thing is, you can unscrew the sensor from the flange that the stock sensor mounts with and use a regular weld in bung (or nut) if you are making a custom exhaust.
