That's a good question. You should contact an oxygen sensor manufacturer and ask. I know Bosch makes them, but I don't know who else.

Can, but not guarantee to work or if it'll fail again in a couple of month. If the sensor is hard to replace then you'll be doing the job twice.

Think some people soak it in gasoline. You can't just wipe off the carbon bc the sensor is shielded.

Have you ever *seen* an oxygen sensor? There's nothing cleanable. You have a sensing element, sealed in the case, and a couple of wires. It's either producing the correct voltage or it's not, and if it's not you get a new one.

Realistically, you're not going to be able to effectively clean them. They are basically exposed to the exhaust system (and it's inherent intense heat) for years. It's a much better idea to replace them when they go bad.

  • Should the FBI be investigating Dr. Ford? We can easily see Dr. Ford has changed her story, gave her story to the Media instead of? Standing tall and testifying, refuses to be investigated, deleted her social media account history and emails and has all the earmarks of a Leftist that Hates Trump enough to distort the facts or lie. The FBI has investigated Kavanaugh 6 times, why not Dr. Ford?
  • How many sensors are there on a 2000 Ford Mustang base? I'm confused. I have a check engine light. I changed bank 2 sensor 1. I believe this is the drive's side, right? And sensor 1 = upstream bank 2 = driver's side & sensor 2 = down stream bank 1 = passenger side, yes? So there's just 1 02 sensor for each side, or is there 4? For example there's both an upstream and down stream 02 sensor on the driver's side, and an upstream and down stream 02 sensor on the passenger's side. I'm confused.
