Ok, need to replace the OS on the car and although I am ok with working on vehicles I am far from a pro. Is it easy to install or should I just cough up the $$$ to have it installed?

Since you don't post what Stratus or what engine or which of the possible
4 -02 Sensors may be bad it would be hard to answer. Some are easy to get to and some are a pain. How do you know which one is bad????Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech

You "think?" Ever try reading the manual, or looking under the hood?
Most O² sensors are threaded into a boss on an exhaust manifold, and care has to be taken if they've been there a long time. Usually some penetrating oil around the threads will help crack them loose, but since there was anti-sieze put on the threads at the factory, they shouldn't be that big a problem. Access, however, especially on V6s, can be a niggly if not insurmountable problem, however.

You had no idea what an O2 sensor was even for, until you read my posts- you thought sensors were all BS.
All of a sudden, you're saying "read the manual", etc.
Just like I say.
sorry, you can't be me !
Keep in mind, all- this "DeserTBob" guy is no mechanic- he is a FIRED Bell Telephone employee, the "phone guy" they send to your house, when your phone don't work.
But all that work has now been subcontracted out- and DeserTBoob lost his job- so that's why he landed on Usenet unemployed and talking a good mechanic's job...
He drives a 1978 Honda- I rest my case !
