It's simple to remove it. An O2 sensor wrench would be easiest if it's stuck on but mine came off easily with an adjustable wrench. If it's failing because it's slow, you might be able to clean it. Fill a stainless steel pan with 1/3 Lime Away tile cleaner (acid) and 2/3 purified water. Drop in the whole sensor and boil lightly for an hour or two. Rinse thoroughly and boil it two more times using only purified water. Mount it on the car and immediately drive to burn off the water. I've done it twice so far. I figured the second time would ruin it but it still works perfectly.

My 88 Toyota Tercel cracked its sensor. There is a lot of mechanical, thermal, and chemical strain on it. Cleaning only works if the sensor is covered with ash but otherwise good. It could also destroy it. Try at your own risk

BTW: that was last summer. took the biennual smog check (california) a month ago, and passed with lower numbers than i did 2 years ago! so yeah- the O2 sensor does something!

My vehicles OBDII.> It means the UPstream (pre-cat) O2 sensor's heater has failed. This means the sensor is now relying on exhaust heat to warm it up, just as if it were a pre-'92 single-wire sensor. This will increase emissions for a minute or two after startup, so it doesn't mean much in the long run, except that you won't pass smog with error codes stored. The post-cat sensor just measures converter efficiency. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/

	I just replaced the oxygen sensor in my '95 dodge dakota after 153500 klms. The engine was running a little rough but ok. My gas mileage was very low. Since replacing the sensor the engine seems to be running smoother but now when I try to start it all I get for the first few times is just a click and then it starts. Does anyone know what my problem might be? Thanks for any help you might be able to give me. Bert

I was wondering, is there a thread discussing starter failure modes? It happens that I've noticed getting just a "click" occasionally when I start the engine.

	it can be one of two things ... What I thought it was at first was the starter solenoid.. What happens is that it gets a dead spot on it and it takes a few times for it to engage.. Now if there is not enough voltage going to the starter it will click too until contact at the battery terminal improves or voltage jumps ... Now since its the battery connection being loose I would not count that as being a "failure" but rather an over look of assemble .. I own two 98 Rams .. 1) has a stock 318 (5.2)with 198,000 miles on it and still trust it to drive it across the country at any time ! ( starter went out at 186,000miles ) 2) Had a 318 ( 5.2) with a wild cam in it until 175,000 miles.. then it was replaced with a 408 cubic in. stroked motor with custom cam, eddelbrock aluminum heads, custom B&G computer and lots of other goodies..
