a fouled out oxygen sensor can result in bad fuel economy, and make that dreaded check engine light come on, it can also make your car "bogg out" / sputter, when accelerating, when replacing, make sure to get the o2 sensor socket, makes for easy replacement... as far as the check engine light you may need to stop by dealership to have it reset, most will reset for free
