How to change o2 sensor. Bank 1 Sensor 1 on a 2003 chevy sliverado

[8TheRealDave8]

LOL, he said Oxygen 2 sensor.

[ltsgoyanks]

For Stubborn 02 sensors, you can use a propane torch (of course be weary of gas tank/lines) and heat the exhaust pipe as close to the sensor (without heating the sensor!!!) as possible to expand the metal. remove heat source and very quickly remove the sensor before the metal cools off again(2 people is best).

I know common sense says the hole will get smaller as metal expands, making it more difficult to get out.. but the hole actually expands, making it easy peazy to get out the sensor.

@ltsgoyanks DUDE JUST BUY A CAN OF PB BLASTER ,SPRAY THE O2 TAP IT A FEW TIMES , RE-SPRAY IT AND WAIT 10 MINS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PULL THE SENSOR . PIECE OF CAKE.

[ltsgoyanks]

@grneyzX3 Yeah, I totally agree that would be the safest method!!! Some cars in the NorthEast and Utah and CO that are subjected to harsh Winters and salted roads(still), may have to use the torch to get it out safely without damaging the exhaust manifold or RUSTED exhaust pipe. Pb Blaster is some good stuff! I recommend trying that first for sure!

[grneyzX3]

@ltsgoyanks LMAO!! DUDE SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST WANT TO BURN SOME SHIT BUT ITS COOL WITH ME ,WHATEVER ROCKS YOUR BOAT!!LOL

Hi,my car is runnin perfect but im doing 10 mpg ,im suppose to make 19 mpg, could it be the o2 sensor?

[01chevyprizmkid]

@wow14willywaller yes. I have a 2001 Chevy Prizm and I'm supposed to be getting 29, and I'm getting high teens - low twenties. Just go to a local Auto Parts store and they can run a free diagnostics on your car and tell you what's going on.

my father has a 97 cadillac deville I copied the codes down from the odometer. There is a problem with Bank1 sensor 2 and Bank 2 sensor 1 The codes have been showing up a while. Lately alot of smoke comes from his exhaust when he starts it and it idles till it warms up then its smooth Sometime it wont start. Where are these 2 sensors and could they be causing this problem

[BboyChrizCrozz]

O2 means Oxygen Genius.



[trekvana]

what band you got playing in the background. totally reminds me of del castillo

[DutyCycle555]

socket..for what? what about a simple wrench...lool

[muncleike]

them sockets suck! they spread apart! if your o2 sensor has been in there awhile and is stuck. it will just strip it..JUNK!

[grneyzX3]

@muncleike SOUNDS LIKE YOURE USING THE WRONG SOCKET MY FRIEND OR PERHAPS YOU NEED TO SPRAY THAT O2 WITH SOME PB BLASTER BEFORE YOU TRY TAKING THAT O2 OFF

[muncleike]

@grneyzX3 yes i was using them o2 sensor sockets they suck.now i heat them up red hot with a MAPP torch and use a wrench or vice grips.works well ty

[PowerRATS]

Thanks man this helped me with my '04 silverado you rock!!!

[JaviJav0217]

Mira!!!! LMAO!!! Thanks for the vid bro.



[healthjunkie1]

I have a 2002 camry and my engine light came on. The dealer said to replace the catalytic converter for 1500.00 bucks. I bought the parts and had a mechanic put it in. Cost 300.00 total. Engine light went off!!! When they showed me the old O2 sensor, I knew one did not work anymore because the mechanic showed me, part of it had melted and he had a difficult time gettting it out. Check your o2 sensor before replacing catalytic converter!

[evilshark408]

Can this also cause a rough idle on 91 honda accord

[bigtimerz77]

@tan94319 probably 2 depends on how many cats it has

[Keith1212ofxbox360]

[ARTEMIOBADILLO]

[3436jesse]

[CP240sx]

Informative but just disconnecting the battery does not necessarily get rid of the trouble code. On my Nissan I had to connect a code reader to the car and hit the erase button to clear the code out of the system. Once I did that, the check engine light went out.....

[MustangFan424]

@CP240sx Thats because you didn't leave the battery un plugged long enough.

[CP240sx]

@MustangFan424 I disconnected the battery for over an hour. Shouldn't that have been long enough?

[MustangFan424]

@CP240sx Most of the time yes, but not always. Unplug it overnight, and it will clear.
