Hi All,
My mileage is not very good. Although I drive the car like a senile senior citizen, I have a hard time getting 14mpg (this is a '92 inline 6 with 4wd that I don't use much). I have used engine/injector cleaner in the fuel, replaced plugs/wires, replaced the (cracked, of course) exhaust manifold, but no changes (car sounds and runs a lot better but mileage is pretty much the same). Since I don't know when it was last replaced I thought it be a good idea to replace the O2 sensor. Couple of questions.
1) Is that a good idea?
2) Do I take it out warm or cold?
3) Do I use PB blaster to get it to come out?
4) What replacement should I buy? Just standard at autozone or are there better/worse brands?
Thanks,
Tim
