Purchasing o2 sensors.. (Cheap) I have killed another set of 02 sensors and I need to find a cheap way to get new ones. I tried autozone and they have to order them at around $90 each. I guess that the price is so high because of the wiring harness, and wire length are specific to the ls1 Z28?? However, I was wondering if there is a cheap o2 sensor that I can buy at some place like autozone and put the ls1-specific wiring harness on myself.. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Re: Purchasing o2 sensors.. (Cheap) The first set of o2's that went bad was due to coolant loss.
I think that this set o2's going bad can be attributed to a couple of vacuum leaks that have caused what looks to be a rich condition (by looking at the plugs). The EGR where it attaches to the intake was leaking like mad!!

Re: Purchasing o2 sensors.. (Cheap) Freak: If they are completely bad, you'll run pig rich, yet the O2s will show you being about normal. I'm wondering how do you know if they are partially bad?

Re: Purchasing o2 sensors.. (Cheap) I just called Jay Fisher Pontiac http://www.jayfisherpontiac.com/enter.htm and was able to get the o2 sensors for $75 each plus shipping. It was a pretty good deal considering the local dealerships were wanting $110 apiece. Just to follow up for others information.
