I do not know the complete answer. Usually, as the oxygen sensor is failing, it will cause the car to run rich, so that your exhaust gets blacker. If it totally fails, then the computer will go into a default mode (limp mode), and without having feedback from the sensor, it will make the car run at a fixed rich setting, again making the exhaust blacker. I am also hunting for an answer since my car is stalling and the check engine indicates a faulty downstream oxygen sensor. Since it is $85, I would love not to have to replace it. yes an 02 sensor will make a car stall replaced both on my 2000 zx3 now fixed much better gas millage to
