    The smallest things make the biggest difference

    So,

    My car lately has been running kind of rough, and I have had thoughts of floggin it off.

    Before doing that I thought it was a good idea to get rid of my "Lazy" 02 sensor, and Im glad I did!

    The car has been transformed from a spike happy, rough running beeatch, into a smooth as butter baby

    I had to share

    People don't relize that o2 sensors wear out just like spark plugs. Around 75k the primary one should be changed.

    Chris - is that true if you have a test pipe and cat delete file, too? I'm almost at 75k and might replace it if so.
