Change out those oxygen sensors every 50,000 miles.

I had been living with a bad one for awhile and didn't realize it. Gradual performance loss to the point of me saying WTF is going on with this car?

Just trying to help. Have a good day.

Is that a common problem on the foxes? I've noticed that mine gets all bouncy if I put lights and stuff on.

I agree on changing the O2's, but just make sure there's sufficient anitseize on the threads when you install the new ones. I put some used ones in without antiseize, and now one is seized in there solid. I'll need a muffler shop to change it next time, since it ain't comin out (at least without breaking) without a torch.

It's not really a problem. It's just a good thing to do. You won't have to worry about charging problems and you can run extra accessories without worrying.
