IF it's a good deal, buy it. You don't necessarily have to replace it right away, but it will go bad eventually.

do you exhibit symptoms of random power loss intermittently?its not throwing a code so its functional, but if you feel sometimes the performance is hindered and other times its not it could be malfunctioning, but if you havent changed it in the 90K+ miles, you might as well do it , if you get it for like 50-60$ new, id just do it

If its cheap enough, and you have the cash, buy it. Install it and then test the old one. If its bad toss it. If its good then you have a spare for future use or you could selll it.

I would do what FLAVOR247 said. I think I heard that they may even just get lazy or weak after a while and not throw any code. If you follow these instructions and you have small hands, or a girlfriend or something with small hands, it will only take like 15 minutes:

That site also has some good info in general about the sensor.
