Re: Attempts stall, Idle Pulses 600-800 rpms, horrible MPG
Food for thought. I read tonight that O2 replacement on OBDII systems for the sake of preventative maintenance is pretty much a waste of time. On OBDII systems you are either gonna be alerted by the computer that its failed or notice it big time some other way. The worry about O2 replacement for preventative maintenance is mainly for pre-OBDII vehicles.
Now I don't feel so bad putting the old ones back in. I realize they slow down over time, but this may be due to deposit buildup on the sensor element itself which I hopefully eliminated with my cleaning process. If its due to degrading of internal ceramic though thats a different story.
