Default 02 sensor replace or tuner...

i have a bad o2 sensor and not sure which one it is.. i relized it would be around $120ish or high to get this prob fixed.. so i have been informing the parental units about the investment of a tuner... i can get a diblo tuner for $350... any thoughts on how to convince them some more? oh and i have to get my car checked for inspection and i kno it will fail like me at school.. so this will have to be fixed within about a month...

Thanks all!

Do you keep getting a check engine light for it? If so get it read somewhere, then come back here so we can tellyou which one it is. I just had to replace one on my car and it costs 45 bucks for the sensor and I put it on myself.

You need to determine which sensor has failed. [/align][/align]If it's one of the front ones then it needs to be replaced or the engine will run rich as heck, get lousy fuel economy, and ruin your catalytic converter(s). If it's a rear sensor then a tuner will let you turn off the rear sensors and depending on the nature of the inspections where you live you may pass.[/align][/align]What makes you believe you have a failed O2 sensor? If its a SES light then get the code read and figure out which one is bad...[/align]
