it says its the rear. maybe it just came unplugged. lol ill check it out.
bank 1.. right side or left?

thanks MGD and JackandJanet


oh.. is it going to hurt to drive on it or does it need to be replaced soon?

 

Hi again. I can't remember the positional order, lol. Silly me. :o

But, if it's the rears it is just a CEL nag - Cat monitors only. The fronts however, control Air/fuel via the PCM, so these are very important to mileage, performance and preventing Cat damage from running overly rich. these need to function 100%.

Good luck.

so i should be ok driving for a couple of days till it dries up.

we got 8 inches of snow yesterday and its kinda a shock to everyone. lol

 

Hi yet again, lol.

I would, if I could, just try to take a look-see under there to make sure it isn't actual physical damage of some kind. Just to be sure.

Highly recommend a front O2 swap, asap. You might be pleasantly surprised by the result.

Take care & good luck to you.

Alrighty thanks bud
maybe all 4 sensors will get replaced.

By pleasently surprised, would Milage improve?

 

Hi.

Yes sir - very possible. Might notice some perf improvement as well, as the nice tight responsive A/F control wil be back up to snuff.

It all depends how 'lazy' (slow switchrates) and/or contaminated the current ones are now.

Cheers

~200,000 on my 98's factory O2s here.

 

142k on mine, COPs and plugs too.

 

i don't know about the f150's, haven't used it on them. i put it on my wifes 2001 pontiac grand am gt and it dropped from a 10.77 to a 10.70(1/8th mile) i never had any adverse effects from it and no real noticeable change in mpg. but it does work in the power department( not drastic but its there) i had it on the car until we sold it and the car had 147k on it. it does work but not what they are saying. snake oil might be a far leap, but definetly not worth a million horseys like their claiming. check your plugs/o2 sensors every so often to make sure with the extra fuel that its not fouling them out. other than that have fun

 

Only you would be proud of that!

thanks guys

 

It's VERY possible to have a sensor fail at any time. I had one in the transmission of my Honda fail in the first 30K miles. The replacement is still going strong (110K).

I THINK, "1" refers to the passenger side. Anyway, I'd look there first.

And, 00gm5.4 - glad you have a sense of humor! Sometimes you need it with all the chimpanzees on this forum! At times, I climb up into the trees with them myself! It helps when we don't take ourselves too seriously.

I'm not complaining that my OBS's parts last longer than this electronic crap Ford stuffed into the NBSs

 

Perfectly put!
