Walker O2 Sensors

Both O2 sensors are bad, so I went looking for some online today. www.oxygensensors.com has a really good price on these Walker sensors ...$51.90 with free shipping:

https://www.oxygensensors.com/showpi...nsor=250-23083

Has anyone used them? Good/Bad experience?

What will having the sensors bad do to the car...bad mileage, cause more problems? They've been bad since last year and I just haven't done anything because so many other things needed fixing :P

I don't know anything about that brand. The OEM one says 3 wire, which is what the SVX takes. Bad sensor wile give you a bad fuel mixture & lousy mileage for one thing.

Replaced all three of mine back in may with these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/O2-OX...spagenameZWDVW

Fixed my check engine light and runs a lot smoother too.

Can't beat the price either. - Ed

Re: Walker O2 Sensors

Get the ones with the connectors rather than the ones you splice. It makes it much easier to install.

Re: Walker O2 Sensors

I bought Beck Arnley sensors from the same seller as ZMan. They've been working great for a month. Excellent price and fast shipping.

Re: Walker O2 Sensors

Here's a pic of the walker ones on that site since my link redirected to the main page. It looks like it's the oe connector:



I'm mostly concerned about whether they're any good. I've heard of some types/brands failing right away after install etc. and wanted to see if anyone had a definite good or bad experience. I appreciate the help! I wanted to go with something I didn't need to splice anyway since there's always a chance (with me anyway) that it's not done well enough lol and I'd have to do it again.

Agreed!
Less chance of pre-wired ones loosing connectivity.
