O2 sensor

How long does it take the sensor to warm up to give me a reading on consult...If the sensor was faulty should it produce a error or fault code?
Lastly how much does it cost to replace theses

around 100 quid from Nissan I think I paid for mine not long ago . I heard that 90% of cars ie pulsars that get mapped they map around or without them as ther not working anyway

Do they need warming up for taking the reading?

Is there not a cheaper alternative other than Nissan....

Thats right jhonny, i dont use any o2/lamba sensor on mine

Ill second that. Me either, was mapped round it as wasn't working

They should give a reading on all scales from cold to warm or wot .... but when the car is warm on idle -2000rpm is where you take the reading from what i understand this is the ideal/optimun temp for acurate reading ...

Yeah mine is dead! I need a replacement! from Australia £50...

Make sure you get the right one then .... you want the skinny type o2 sensor ....

Nomad your slipping your posts usually have a link in them

Lol i didnt link one as thought he had already bought it ....  

The pulsar uses a skinny type titania sensor think its like 12mm thread ... the other type is a fatty type zirconia wich is found on more modern cars also .... so make sure you do abit of research before you commit to buying one as the zirconia one will not fit or work .. ....

No I'm gonna try to clean it as Bob said to me on the phone with carb cleaner

What made you think it was shot ?

not giving me no reading

wires might have a break in even if you can not see it?

Do a continuty test that will tell you wether it has a broken wire or not ...

Could be did think of that.. I doubt it though

I was thinking of ordering special socket you get. I don't want to chew it

A decent spanner will do ...
