02 sensor,check engine light/97 TJ
 

How much should an aftermarket 02 sensor cost? This seems to be the
common cause of the dreaded "check engine" light. Is it fixable on your
own without big mechanical knowledge?

They're $80 or so, plus or minus. Do check your codes first though
since there are a LOT of other things besides a bad 02 sensor that will
light the check engine light. Go to

for instructions on how to figure out what may be causing your check
engine light.

If it is in fact the O2 sensor I got mine for $61 at NAPA recently. I
disconnected the battery cable to clear the check engine codes and
screwed in the new sensor. It took all of 5 minutes, no special tools
needed just a 7/16" wrench. No more check engine light (code 21).
