maybe an easy way to find out is to switch the left and right O2 sensors and see how they read? those damn sensors are about 100$ a pop..
That is a very good idea. Also you can test with a voltmeter. O2s actually produce voltage, it is not a signal from the computer and then a return signal like other sensors. You have the heater wires but the 2 white wires should produce voltage and you can verify that way if it is the o2 or if it is a wiring problem. I work on a lot of cars and keep plugs off old o2 sensors and scrap cars o2 connectors with extended wires so I can just plug into it and test it in a convenient location rather than underneath the car.
