My primary o2 sensor is bad and i don't have the money to pay for the 200pos yet. Will running with a bad 02 sensor doing any damage to my car.

 

naa.. should not screw up your engine.. check engine light might get annoying.

 

you might get crappy gas mileage.

 

$200?? buy one used, check the classifieds, ebay.. other boards... friends maybe..


****, i might have an extra one. i'll need to check

 

i got one from pep boys for like 45 bucks, just had to wire it up

 

yeah they had those universal ones for 50 bucks but i don't want to deal with the splicing of wires. I saw some on oxygensensor.com for like 120. But i'm still trying to get a cheaper one.

 

dude the splicing is color coded and take 5 minuets, but if you wanna spend and extra 100+ bucks then be my guest

 

I've been driving for 6 months without an 02 sensor and i havent noticed much. i still get 400 - 450 km per tank on a 40L tank, which is the same as when i had it going. the cel is annoying at first, but you dont notice it anymore after a week or so.

 

it's his primary,not secondary.i would fix asap.try junkyards.

 

which code are your throwing if its 41 its just the heater and the sensor works fine after the car warms up
