+1, they don't have them. A search could answer your question, it's been asked/mentioned before.

oh wow thats funny. so basically if i ever detected a problem, thats when i would check for a code? do you think my a/f ratio is out of wack, or do you think the car is running crappy since i dont have my o2 sensors in? i going to re-install them, just need to buy one new one. i ripped a wire out of it.

most likely there are more pecker tracks to be found but replacing/reinstalling the o2's is a start, then run a koer test and see if any codes come up that'll point to any other system malfunctioning
