I have a 1996 Dodge Dakota SLT 4X4, V-8 auto. I recently had my check engine light diagnosed and was told I have a bad O2 sensor. The mechanic told me I should replace both because his reader will not tell him which sensor is bad. The symptom is that sometimes the truck starts real hard and doesn't want to stay running. If I stay in the gas for a minute, it usually straightens out. Does anyone out there know of a way to determine which sensor is bad? If it means anything the check engine light will be on for a few days and off for a few days. The problem seems to be more apparent when the light is off. Greatly appreciated.
