Saw this posted on another board but I could not believe the price on these!!! ($89 OEM/ $49 universal)

Here is the link (select your vehicle then pulldown at top for O2 sensor):
http://www.sparkplugs.com/results_app.asp

I assume this is for an O2 sensor and not an A/F ratio sensor as is the front sensor on the 99+ 4Runners.

 

There is only one pull-down and that is for spark plugs...unless I'm missin something

Yea those are good prices.

In a few weeks I know a place where you can get a better price...

When it takes you to the second page....click on the menu next to "product".
Then there should be a list of items to choose from....pick "O2 sensor".

 

Do tell if you got somethin better!!!

 

Pretty sweet deal.

 

I've never replaced an o2 sensor before, whats the difference between oem and universal? I think an o2 sensor would fix alot of the rough idle problems, it probably having 160,000 miles on it.

 

I just ordered one from Todd (TOR) and got a great price. If you guys are interested, I would hit him up. He was great to deal with.

 

Who is Todd TOR?

 

Hey guys, as always I am here to meet or beat a price. If anyone is looking for an 02 sensor just drop me a line I have them for about $80.00 and up. Just let me know.

Todd "crazy parts guy"

 

Yep, that's him.

 

You'll probably need to cut/splice the wire on a universal sensor while an OEM plugs right in to the stock connector. That would be my guess.

 

Yup. 99 Limited 4wd. Todd quoted me $80 each for front and rear sensors + $6 shipping. Not bad at all! Thanks Todd!

I have steadily been loosing MPG's over the last couple of months (more than usual with winter blend gas). I'm down from about 19 MPG last Oct to 15 MPG or so now. I don't have a CEL yet, but I feel it may be coming soon. I've been told by others on the board that it's quite possibly an O2 sensor. I have about 97k on the truck - is that about the typical life for one? Any other ideas?

(New Plugs in Dec along with a TB/MAF cleaning and FI cleaning. I'm doing the FI and TB/MAF again today. Anything else OTHER than the O2 sensors that could cause this?)

 

Forgive me if you have posted this else where but have you changed the plugs? That would be the first place I would look and then your air filter and then 02 sensors.

New plugs from Hoover Toyota back in Nov (I think) along with a new PCV. Air filter gets cleaned about every 90 days or so (Amsoil Foam Filter). Oil is Mobil 1 5W30 and a toyota filter. Hopefully the MAF/TB cleaning today will solve the problem. If not, then I'll be ordering the O2 sensors from you later this week or early next week. Are there any other symptoms of a bad 02 sensor? What about my milage? 97k seems a little early to be changing an O2 sensor - but I can't think of anything else. I've been running the same tires at about 35 psi. I'm upping the pressure today to 45 for a little temporary help.

 

I had to replace mine at 80K.

 

I have 220,000 miles on my engine and its safe to say my O2 sensor hasn't been replaced. My gas milage took a nose dive a about a month ago, but I thought it was all the 4x4ing becuase of the snow. I cleaned my spark plugs last week when I still had bad milage with no 4x4ing and I have been burning enough oil to fowl my spark plugs pretty good. What can you do with an old rig , anyway I'm wondering now if that burned oil could have the same effect on my O2 sensor. Should I change it out since its so old and I am burning more oil than it should normally see?

Yep, put in a new one. You can not go wrong there. Even if it is not the problem you can't go wrong since you are way over due.

It is a secret, but URD is going to have all this stuff real soon... Don't tell anyone...

how soon is real soon?
