The o2 sensor helps to ensure that the amount of fuel injected into.

How to clean o2 sensors without removing them. Your vehicle being a 2001, and o2 sensors lasting some time, yours is rusted in.

To check the sensors first disconnect and inspect the wiring, remove the sensors and clean them, don't use any type of chemicals to do this, the cleaning should be done by using a propane torch, place the sensor tip inside the propane flame for a few seconds at a time until all contaminants get evaporated by the heat.

How do you clean an o2 sensor without removing it? The first method i recommend is using penetrating oil such as a liquid wrench or pb blaster. The o2 sensor looks like a white spark plug and has a green wire extending out of the top of it.

Once you've replaced your vehicle's o2 sensor, you'll need to reset the ecu so it can properly gather information from the new o2 sensor. There is a good chance it will accumulate rust and eventually get stuck. If you find a bad one replace it, cleaning is not an option.

On stubborn sensors that felt like the 02 sensor socket would slip, i would put two hose clamps around the socket really tight to prevent the socket from spreading, once i got it to break loose then i would remove the clamps spray penetrating lube again then work it back and forth until the sensor came out without destroying the threads.

You will be working with the engine, and on the exhaust systems, so it's wise to wait for a couple of hours before you start.

It will be on the exhaust pipe leading from the motor toward the back of the vehicle. Its role is to inform the ecu of the oxygen content of the burned gases that result from combustion. If it were mine i would clean it all out top to bottom including the injectors.
