general oxygen sensor question
I have a 1992 Toyota pickup, with 110K miles, that probably needs a new oxygen sensor. The old one actually fell out and was dragging on the ground for a while until I put it back in. But I really dont want to spend the money (about $65) unless I have to. Would I be correct in thinking that the only costs to me of running it with a bad O2 sensor is that gas consumption will be higher? Since I only use it for short distance hauling, thats not enough reason to replace it. Even if it shortens the life of the plugs, they are still a lot cheaper than a new O2 sensor. There is no emission test in Iowa.
Anything else to consider?
