O2 Sensors Replaced

[strapp]

I had my O2 sensors replaced a couple of weeks back and thought I'd post a side by side pic of the old and the new. The one on the right is a litle cooked after 81k.

Any difference in how the car ran, how about the idle? What was the cost?

<hijackingpost> say that your car isnt running right, specifically an ignition problem, and you are blowing raw gas through the exhaust, that would be bad for the O2 sensors, right? What about the cats?<hijackedpost>

Not much difference that I could tell. The cost for the o2 sensors was approx $54 at www.fordpartsnetwork.com . I can't break down the install cost because I paid $120 to have a new hi flow Walbro fuel pump installed along with the O2's. At the place I take the car for minor simple installs, they charge $40/hr, not too bad.
