Followup to o2 sensor question, Although the idea of grabbing a used sensor(cheap) out of the p'n'p was very tempting, I just bought a new 1 off Amazon(cheapest @$90.05 + free ship). When
I took the old 1 out the metal cap on the top was just floating around and the terminals underneath were exposed to the elements. New is installed and so far so good... I erased code and so far no return or any pending. Fingers crossed! This car has been killing me... So far have pulled all door panels to repair 3 inoperable windows, replaced 3 door lock actuators(thank you p'n'p) and struggled with a check engine lite for the evap system... then the o2 code showed up. I hope i'm done.
