Default Bad O2 Sensors

I was under the car doing a oil change and cleaning and notice my o2 sensors looked burned. Will this pull a SES? I want to get headers should I wait to change them or just change them now? Any one know where I can get some?

wat exactly do you mean that they looked "burned"

were they dirty? That would make sense cause they ARE under the car.

Is your car already throwin codes? Running shitty?


NEED MORE INFO THAN THIS!

The car seems to be running ok. I got a ses this morning on the way to work and planning on going to advance auto parts to check it out. I wiped around the sensors thinking it was dirt but it wasnt coming off.

Its probably just carbon. Just spray some carb cleaner on 'em and put 'em back in.

$65 or so I think...? Look for some to buy from guys on here. They're going to look burnt, you're pumping a ton of exhaust over them everytime you turn on the car.

Just leave them alone! If the car is running right and the SES light isn't on...why bother?
