My car failed emissions by .1 hydrocarbons and the pressure test. Pulled codes and only got a 91. Went under to check the O2s and the driverside one looks normal while the other is tiny! Like as thin as a pencil and maybe 2 inches long. And code 91 means the normal looking one is malfunctioning (i think). So what is the deal with the different sizes and any suggestions on passing emissions? On a side note...does anyone know what line they crimp off during the pressure test...it is something off the charcoal canister. Thanks guys.

The size difference might just be different brand o2 sensors

I suppose that would be a nice logical answer. I was told that the small one is the factory piece. I guess I have only seen a bosch sensor. Does anyone know if the ones from Ford are really small?

i recently pulled mine out of my stock LX and they looked like the normal O2's that I've seen.

If you have an extra $80-90, you might just replace both of them.
