oxygen sensors will make your car run rough. A faulty sensor will make your car smell like a gas station at the tail pipe but there could be a whole lot of other reasons why your car is running like a pig, buy the time you find out what the problem was you could have a $200 fuel bill, that would have paid for the diagnosis, at the least.you need to take to a service mechanic to rectify the problem. the list just goes on otherwise. or you could buy a workshop manual and try your luck there, thats what i did and 25 years later i still get stumped, and so do mechaniacs, if they are good ones though they have other mech's helping them, they stay around for this reason so if you know of a mechanic that has been in the same garage for at least 10 years you know he is good one, you should go to him/her. stop wasting your money guessing, and serching for answars from dummies on the net, they have no idea and are probs trying to sell you the very parts they claim you car needs, dont be fooled.
