A worn sensor can show up as a check engine light, a rough idle or poor fuel economy. Exhaust or vacuum leaks, misfiring spark plugs and fuel delivery faults can be behind these signs too, so track down the cause before you buy a sensor. The fitment lists one upstream sensor per engine, and this listing is a single sensor.
