I'm thinking of replacing my O2 sensors (front right and rear), because my check engine light went on for them... I'm wondering if I should do that myself or I should just let a shop handle it.

I can do some of the basic car stuff, like install my own speakers, replace knock sensor, replace gauge cluster, etc. but an engine overhaul would confuse the crap outta me. I know changing O2 sensors is no comparison to an engine overhaul, but I use it just as an example.

So, for those of you who have experience in this field, is it worth the trouble to get under the car and replace the sensors? I could easily get a jack and the right tools from friends, but I just want to know if I'm going to be incredibly frustrated after 5 hours of replacing the things only to end up with two broken O2 sensors that I just bought with my hard-earned money...

Thanks for any help

 

replace it yourself it is really simple and not very time consuming. i will probably take 5 mins to replace the hardest part i would say is jacking the car up.

 

i also got a code for my O2 sensors, how do i know which one do i need to replace? i saw this post n ebay. o2 sensor for about $60. Click here thank you for the info

the one on that link is for the last o2 sensor behind the cat. that one has 4 wires unlike the first 2 that have 3 wires.

get a haynes manual and look up the code it will tell u which sensor is faulty
