Wait, so the Bosch O2's are warranted?
I just ordered some AC Delcos today because the bosch ones have crapped out on me.....Can I take em back to get a refund or new O2's??
I just bought them about 3 months ago.

just go with the delcos. Even if they are warranted, do you really want the hassle of replacing them every 3 months?

you should be able to as long as you still have the reciept. Depending on where you got them you may not need a reciept. I know Auto Zone has digital reciepts and can look it up on the computer with your phone number...no harm in trying right?

Well I am going to use the Delco...but I was just wondering if I can get a refund or store credit for the bosch ones that are in there right now. I got em from autozone.

take the reciept up there, or give them your number so they can find the sale on the computer and I'm positive they will at least do store credit if not a cash refund.

My **** just went from bad to worse.....after changing this pair out....car won't even run...for one day it would run but idle rough, nex day, would fire and flood out and die, today...no starty! justs keeps turning over. Looks like O2s weren't my problem.

when does it do it. all the time? what throttle conditions?

what about at cold startup?

iTrader: (12)

all the time.. cold startup its not so bad, but its bad.. but when it warms up, it runs like pure ****.. it vibrates all the time when i accelerate.. backfires.. all throttle conditions..

Ok, that's not o2s then. Has to be something else.

Maybe exhaust/vacuum leak, ignition problem, tuning, etc

could be a lot of things

its weird though because it happened once i put these o2s on.. everything is new.. new plugs.. new msd opti, new wires, new coil, new iat sensor.. new everything.. exhaust leak was fixed.. its so weird.. runs so rich.. when im in the back where the tailpipes are while its idling, i can hear it.. and smell it.. and feel it lol.. its rich as hell.. what else could it be? tune is new too (madz28) and i havent had problems

BOLO

I replaced my stock O2 sensors maybe 6 to 7 years ago w/Bosch. Never had any issues w/ them.

I have AC delcos in long tubes and haven't had any problems.

But I will say this I have Bosch Rear o2's for LS1 vettes in my LS1's front 2 o2 bungs and never an issue. But I may swap a pair of AC delcos before getting it tuned.

You will sooner or later. I thought Bosch products were great until I used them on my 93 T/A.

If you are running rich you might need to take out your new plugs and clean them.

I had Bosch plugs & O2's installed at the same time. The plugs were complete junk. They lasted for about 2 months then they cracked and fouled. The O2's have been through a lot of crap, fouled plugs, stuck injectors, MAP sensor issues. They've held on, I'm sure they need replaced. I'll go with AC Delco this time around. I'm sure the O2's are just a hit and miss scenario.

When you guys say your Bosch O2 sensors went bad, do they set a CEL, or do they just make the car run rich, or what?

I've been having troubles with mine running rich at idle, and I have Bosch O2's that are probably 4 years old, but they don't set any trouble codes.
