Subject:02 Sensor expected life?
From:Tom Forhan
Date:Sat, 17 Mar 2007 06:20:55 -0700

About two and a half years ago I replaced the 02
sensor after getting the classic symptoms: sudden no
power condition once warm, correcting itself for a bit
when ignition switch was turned off to reset the
computer to thinking it was in cold start mode.

It ran perfectly for trips to Maine and WV after I
replaced the sensor, bu admittedly the total miles are
since the replacement are low - about four thousand.
The vehicle is not, obviously, a daily driver.

Now its doing the exact same thing again. Stalling out
about a mile from my house from a cold start,
responding to ignition key resets. Could the 02 sensor
have failed again?

Thanks

Tom F.
