Check its output with a voltmeter--it still may be OK and outlast the
exhaust pipe it is attached to!  Should read around 0.6 to 0.7 VDC.

Subject:    stuck o2 sensor and bad gas mileage

Aaaaaaahhh,  Any secrets on getting the oxygen sensor out without major
damage.  I've
soaked it with WD-40 and another product (can't remember the name) for
hours. I've
cranked to the point that something is going to break.  Any big secrets
here.  My van was
running fine on a recent trip then BAM, 10 mpg for the rest of the trip.
From looking at
archives it looks like the 02 could be the problem??  Any other ideas?
It's
running a little
rough and rich now too.
thanks
Russ Harrel
