02 sensor - can you clean it?

I wouldn't bother cleaning the sensor, if you go through the effort of replacing, why do it twice?

 

It is a miniature battery after all, it decays with age/usage.

 

Cleaning only works if it has been covered in carbon soot because of unusually rich running (but even then, what if the rich running was caused by the dead sensor itself?)

I agree with John, if you are going to the trouble of removing it, I would replace with a new one.

 

It may seem a little pricey to buy a new O2 sensor, but the difference in fuel economy it makes, it will soon pay for itself in saving on your fuel bill.

 

Give me a shout if you would like prices.
