Hey guys I was just wondering what are the symtoms of bad O2 sensors? My car (93 5.0 LX, full exhaust, AFPR, 255lph pump) gets hesitation when I shift gears hard sometimes. I was wondering if the bad O2's would be the cause. Fuel filter, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, ECT, TFI, fuel pump, AFPR have all been changed. Thanks for the help!

I recently changed my high flow cats over to no cats, and the O2's had some white stuff on them, they didnt look too great lol.

Are they the stock 02 sensors? How many miles? Pulled any codes? I replaced mine on my stock engine around 60,000 miles back in the day. I can't remember what the recommened maintenance on those things are, but it is something like every 40k change them out. We ussually just wait until they go out to replace them.

Yeah high flow cats were a mistake with borlas, anyways, I dont have one of those code things, but I have no check engine light. Ill probly just end up changing them, what are those wide band O2's? Are they much better than stocks?
 
Ahhhhh, the power of the search button.

Can bad O2 sensors cause left and right bank lean codes?

SOB!!! I bet that's why my exhaust smells so dam rich. Now I'm just that much more happy I ordered the new O2 sensors recently.

This thread reminded me of the question.

I couldn't remember the code numbers only the code meaning.

Thanks
