Some people have removed them and torched them in an attempt to clean them. I believe Doug (mohrds) has explained this method.

So you got the dreaded check engine light and the code is indicating one or more oxygen (lamda) sensors are reporting problems?

No?

Well, did you inspect the entrails of a dead chicken then?
Consult a ouija board?
Just guess?

You report that you are getting "crappy a$$ MPGs" - but just how many mpg is defined as crappy a$$ on your measurement scale?

You have measured your mpg, haven't you ?

If you haven't, then do so. Brim the tank, reset the trip meter, drive it a hundred miles or more, then brim the tank again. Then do the maths. Perhaps your mpg isn't quite as bad as you think it is.
