well, i wasn't really driving... i was raping one of those little srt-4's, and all of a sudden i hear this sound comming from my car that sounds like something was dragging on the street. i pulled over and saw that it was my o2 sensor - it had come off from the bung-hole (lol) and dragged on the floor for a little. when i parked, i parked in a place that a car had previously parked and the o2 sensor sat in a little water. i put it back on after the car cooled down, and the car started up weird but got itself together after a few seconds. here's my question... i dont know if i damaged the o2 sensor or not. how would i know if the o2 sensor is damaged? my car seems to be running good, but im sure dragging it on the street for about a minute and then setting it in a nice little puddle of water didn't do it any good. is there any way for me to test it to see if it's damaged? thanks guys

How did it just pop out, was it loose already or something?

lol that sucks. I would probably replace it though. Atleast it came out easy though :D some of them are a pain in the ass to get out. wast there a lot of buildup on it?

lol, it just popped out... i guess it wasnt in there right enough. it doesnt have any build up on it, but i still think that it recieved some damage when it was being dragged on the street for a little while... i dunno, maybe i was lucky and it isnt broken because it seems to be running just fine. yo chris, where've you been man? IM me on aim sometime. laterz
