    Stupid o2 sensor question

    You should hear a slight jiggle sound when you shake an o2 sensor? I've changed em before but never really noticed the sound I'm getting from the new one I've purchased. Never really shaken one before either...

      I don't believe thats right. I've taken apart an O2 sensor and don't see any reason why it should jiggle......unless conections are loose.

          plug it in and see if it works. If it doesn't, you'll get a CEL.

                Does anybody know why my o2 sensor is cut and no CEL light ever turned on?

                  bad phrasing. The o2 sensor is cut, does anybody have an idea why the CEL light never goes on? What else causes the engine light to go on?

                    interesting. just the heater portion of my o2 sensors failed, and both times the CEL lit.

                        true. It could be that the older computers don't even check for a working O2 sensor. I am sure someone else will have a better answer for you on this. I answered because I just replaced my second sensor two weeks ago.

                            It probably needs to be unplugged for a little while before it comes on if it does. I know that on my brothers Storm it wint come on for a faulty 02.
