Cleaning front oxygen sensor

[Nik]

In light of the recent silicone spray fuck up... I reckon it's my o2 sensor causing the P0171 .

Is there a way to clean the o2 sensor? I heard you can use a blow lamp?

Pleeeease?

No need - o2 sensor's fine I think, did a diag. check on it and it flashed more that 5 times in 10 seconds :)

ive heard a torch will help. id buy a new one for $103 at everything20.com

get some type of heat rescent gloves and get something to hold the actually o2 sensor and blow torch it till it gets red...thats what ive read never tried this....its a take at your own risk type of thing.....way better then spending 100+ for a workin sensor thats dirty
