Question Cleaning oxygen sensors?

Is there any way to clean an oxygen sensor? I know you won't be able to restore them, but what about general cleaning?

Re: Cleaning oxygen sensors?

ive never personally cleaned one or tried to but ive heard that unless there is carbon built up on the outside that can be cleaned off with a wire brush, you cant clean them.

ive also heard that if you take your car out for a few speed runs (0-60) with it to the floor it will clean your sensors and cats out a little.

No, there is no way to clean them. just replacement.

taking the car out for a few speed runs is what the old timmers call an Italian tune up. it cleans the cats not the sensor.
