Re: O2 sensor ?

possibly. check your connections for the o2 sensor. an o2 sensor is a voltage producing component. it pulls in outside air and reacts with the exhaust oxygen and the chemical reaction between the two causes voltage, high oxygen in the exhaust(rich condition) means higher voltage, low exhaust oxygen(lean condition) means a low voltage signal. i dont really see how dropping it could cause damage but it is possible. if you just replaced them try taking it back to the store and say its defective and get a new one. if it does the same thing, its something in your wiring

A dropped oxygen sensor is a bad sensor. replace it.
