Hey all,

If there's no noticeable differences when you take it out and drive the eb, i imagine it would indicate it's cactus. I didn't think they were that expensive. How much do they want for a new one?
Cheers, ian

If it's cracked it probably cactus or it's done over 100000 klms it's also probably cactus, But Test Don't Guess, otherwise you could be forking out over $100 without fixing your problem.

Sounds like the oxy sensor is gone but sheesh $100+ for one is a bit rich. I got my NGK one from bursons for $84 3 months ago and from what i've herd they are the better ones, i'm happy with mine.

I found the most positive way to test an o2 is, if you have a friend or friendly neighbour who is running the same o2 is to put theres in, that will let you know straight away I done a search and was taken back as to how many cars an o2 fits, if its 2wire it fits 3wire fits, oh, ask them first how their car is running you do not want to put a dud in.

You can test an o2 sensor with a digital volt meter
You should be able to buy one for under $20 The range of an O2 sensor is 0 to 1 volt As the car is running the voltage should switch above & below .5 volts rapidly If the voltage stays around 0 all the time then the sensor is no good Below .5 volts indicates lean & above is rich |
