BTW there is an O2 sensor removal tool for sale on eBay.

Don't thank me. It was shamelessly stolen off the alt.autos.subaru newsgroup.
It's not difficult to remove the O2 sensor even without the tool. I just use an open socket wrench. If you get the universal sensors, usually they'll come with the proper bits to splice/crimp. I would make sure it's waterproof, so shrink tubing would be ideal if you were doing a solder job. VK |

Thanks Vkykam,
I disconnected the battery, and my codes are clear. Hopefully my O2 replacement and TB service will improve the mileage problems I was having (Only 9MPG!). I have already noticed better acceleration (no hesitation off the line). BTW-I used a 7/8 box end wrench to remove my original O2 sensor, and it came off easily without even using liquid wrench. My OEM sensor (approx $140 US) came with thread anti-seize already applied. Andrew |

9MPG!?!? Ouch.
From my experience, at its worst in Toronto traffic: Malfunctioning O2 Sensor: 15MPG City Malfunctioning MAF: 16MPG Failed Solenoid C (constant 50/50 lock): 12.5MPG I'd definitely watch the MPG. If it doesn't come back up to at least 15MPG (assuming you don't drive it 3 miles a trip every time), I'd look for other causes. VK |

QUE PASA!!????
I don`t know that is happening with my car, the "BASURU" (lovely name) . It doesn`t run fast and It "eat" a lot of gas!. I replace sparks (Bosch+4), filter (K&N), Oil (synthetic), clean the injectors, check the compression (200 psi in 4 cylinders and 170 in the other two), new gas filter, I check the coils (all are OK), clean the TPS, Exhaust system is OK (Is aftermarket), Replace vacuum hoses, gas pressure regulator .....
The ECU doesn`t "say" nothing , but do you thing th O2 Sensors would be the problem??? Ayudenme por favor!!!!! BTW, I need a new windshield!!! Saludos desde Mexico Juan I`m Happyyyyyyy!!!! I`m going to be a father!!! |

SVX_My_Baby,
I think the ones Aredubjay bought from Oxygensensors.com came with the splice instructions. I don't have any, as I caved in and bought Bo$ch plugs at $125CDN a piece, after oxygensensors.com didn't respond to my e-mails. That was over a year ago, but Aredubjay obviously had better luck than I did in ordering it from them. VK Quote:

Interesting that you had trouble, Victor. Of course, I didn't e-mail them, I just filled out their online order form and, in two days, I had my sensors.
