I've been dealing with a SES light for a while now. When i had it scanned i was told to replce the front O2's so i did with a pair of NGK sensors. The car was fine for about a month then the light came back on so i had it scaned again. I was told it's the front O2's again and that they are slow in switching between rich and lean. The shop sugested to try a different brand of O2's. I went to a different place to get a second opinnion and was told the same thing i was also told to only use Ford OE sensors. After i got home i decided to disconnect the batt. and change my plugs which needed to be done anyway. When i started up the car the SES light didn't come on and it stayed that way for about a week and now it's back on. So i'm confused if the O2's are tripping the light then why would it be off for a week after changing the plugs? There is a slight miss at idle that i can hear but that wouldn't give a code for the O2's would it? The miss was there even before i did the plugs but got no codes for it. So do i do the O2's or go after the miss?
O2 sensor brands does it make a difference?

o2 sensors get lazy. I've had one that would only throw the slow response rate code about once every couple of months. o2's are one thing that is really best to stick with OE ford.
I don't know where you guys get your 02's from but there is a guy on Corral who sells oem sets of 4 for modulars for $70 shipped, or 50 for 2. I remember Ford told me they were like 300 for the set of 4 so i think thats a good deal.
