Thanks dghii

I like you idea, do you know which OBD-II code reader I should borrow/Buy??

My take is that the OBD-II code will tell you which sensor(s) are having issues. First thing I did was note and then clear the code to see if/when it came back. Over the course of a few years, I would sporadically get the same O2 code....maybe once every 6 months or so. Once the code finally started to pop up more frequently, I bought and installed the one offending sensor, March of 2015year. No codes since.
BTW, my 2000S has just under 132K miles.
