i think i burned up my front drivers side O2 sensor. i was on a long drive and i had a plug wire pop off and couldnt stop until an exit which wasnt very close so it was running on 7 cylinders for a while MIL flashing at me.

after i got the wire back on and crimped it harder, i have gotten a fault code for the bank one sensor one (precat drivers side) and have since twice. i have a few questions.

are the front O2 sensors the same as the rear O2 sensors?
i looked on summit and they had different part numbers so i am thinking
no, but would like to save money (if possible) i have the rear O2's sitting
around from the LT ORY swap.

if i seafoamed the hell out of the car could it clean it?
or is there an electronic parts cleaner i could use?

i am sure with the fuel running through the cylinder and exhaust it got soaked but i ran it 4 hours back and the code is still on. i am going to run autotap here in a few minutes so i will get back on that.

Is the car running right, if so just get the code cleared. Im not positive but i thought that a code wouldnt go off until you cleared it.

its been cleared. and came on again.

does anybody know of a sensor/electronics safe cleaner i could use on it?

or would i be best with some seafoam?

I doubt seafoam would clean it, but its worth a try.

that is kind of what i was thinking, but it wouldnt hurt.

i now learned the difference between the precat and post cat 02's. the precat are heated, thus they are not interchangable.

so does anybody know of a cleaner?

or could it be a wire issue?

is there a way to test the 02?

i seafoamed it and ran the deep creep seafoam and no more code! just that i would let you all know.

Wow, im glad to know that. I didnt think it would work like that but hell, i may give it a try when my o2s give me trouble.

If you had an O2 burn up the car wouldn't run right at all I would think..... just get the code cleared

it was a nice suprise. all is good now and she screams like a demon.
