replacing O2 sensor on 2004 Galant

External Since: Jun 05, 2007 Posts: 2

Okay so the wife was told by the Mitsubishi dealer than the O2 sensor
is going bad on her car. Quote was $400 for the repair. They are
trying to sell her on a new Galant but she isn't buying the deal.

Anyways, I don't know much about the Galant, but is there more than
one O2 sensor? How difficult is this to replace? I noticed on Auto
Parts Warehouse that this part only costs around $30-$40.

Also, I'm looking for the best places to get the manuals to service a
2004 Galant and a 2005 Lancer.

There are two O2 sensors, front and back. The one usually need
replacement is in the front and easily accessble. The one in back is
for data loggging mainly.
Make sure your new O2 sensor has the same type of plug as the old one.
Otherwise you might have to cut wires and things can get messy.
Good luck.
