Sensor thingy working on mabober.
okay, I went through the book, Cause somebody was talking about changing his O2 sensors all the time and such.
So, I looked in my haynes manual at what sensors would affect fuel mixture and such in the running of the engine and i came up with quite a few.
Basically all of them that are in the book.
O2
MAP
IAC
IAT
IPS
EVP
These are ones i came up with that would effect performance in some way. I only spent about 5 mins on this. So dont get on my case.
These were the ones i was thinking about changeing in my truck, and i'm doubting they have ever been changed. My truck has 140k miles, and i get a check engine lite every now and then and it goes away and such, and sometimes it runs a lil slugish from what it should.
If you guys think these are good choices, or have any to add, I can finish out this guide and where they are located and brief explination on how to change them.
I'll finish up the guide after i do all of them myself, so i can speak from experince of changeing them for the first time, not from the experience of doing it 10000 times.
Tell me your thoughts.
These would be for 1980-1996 f series trucks, and bronco.

the maual tells you how to check theses sensors. You can price the new sensors but i would bet that thats a lot of money. You should make sure the sensors are operating properly before you just go wild and change them all. Most of them are probably still good. I would say the most common ones that go bad are the EVP and O2. I had problems with both of those and they are the only ones i have replaced. I'm not saying that the others couldn't be bad, you should just check them before replacing.

Well of course you should check them!
Except i'm usually lazy about it. laf.
Sensors are usually around 6-15 dollars i do belive, depending on the sensor. Some are up to 30 i think.
I will of course price them all out for the guide and such.
