Quick Question - Cleaning O2 Sensor?
I pulled the O2 sensor right in front of the cat on my exhaust. I have been getting terrible mileage ever since I seafomed and have already pulled the plugs and cleaned them (extremely fouled). I am hoping that cleaning this sensor might help. Anyone know if this sensor is "cleanable"?? - Sorry for the bad phone pic....

You might just go and replace the plugs too unless they were new or close to it.

Thanks. The plugs were pretty new - about 16000 miles. I am ordering the URD kit in a couple weeks anyways and will probably wait till then as it comes with new plugs. I have some electronics parts cleaner that I used on my MAF and will try that. THanks for the help!

Seafoam is supposed to be O2 sensor safe. I think I remember reading one of the other guys just dipping the sensor in the Seafoam and wiping off the excess...
