limechallenger OP mopar Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 574 Just South of The Motor City	The O2 sensor on my 2002 Sebring coupe just turned my check engine light on,so I'm wondering if they are repairable or do I have to replace it? I was thinking I may be able to pull it out clean it up and go! What do you guys know about this? Thanks! 70 T/A Challenger 78 Aspen R/T 87 Indy 500 Dakota

I don't know of a chemical that won't hurt the O2 if you try and clean it. Best thing you could try is to heat it with a propane torch to bake off the carbon. How would you get to the inside tip to clean it? My Own Personal Adrenaline Rush

No amount of cleaner will fix that.

Flush it with water and blow it out. Worked for me on my pre-cat and post-cat sensors on an '01 Ram. Let me know if it works for you. Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".
