Default Cleaning out the o2 sensors?
Is there a way to clean the o2 sensors? I have heard that dipping them in seafoam for a while cleans them out. My s2k's o2 sensors look a little dirty.

Is your check engine light on? They live inside the exhaust stream, of course they are going to look dirty.

Bad idea to do ANYTHING to the 02 sensors. They are voltage producing electronic delicate parts.

They usually fail internally, cleaning the outside metal won't do anything, I agree with not touching them.
