How Do I Replace the Oxygen Sensor in a 1995 Voyager Van

The 1995 Plymouth Voyager van uses an oxygen sensor to monitor the levels of oxygen in the exhaust. The sensors reading tells the Voyagers engine computer how to modify the air/fuel mixture for maximum fuel efficiency and minimal pollution. A failing sensor will illuminate the "Check Engine" light on the Voyagers instrument panel; it will also cause the Voyager to idle poorly and to use more fuel than necessary. To avoid wasting money on extra fuel, replace the sensor when it goes bad. Its a job you can do yourself with just a little bit of patience and tool familiarity. Purchase replacement Voyager oxygen sensors from an auto parts store.

Instructions

1

Start the engine on your 1995 Voyager and let it idle until it reaches the normal operating temperature, the temperature your van typically runs at. Locate the oxygen sensor threaded into the exhaust manifold at the bottom of the engine compartment.

2

Unplug the wiring harness connection on the sensor. Remove the sensor from the manifold with a wrench.

3

Insert the new sensor by hand to prevent cross-threading. Torque the sensor to 20 pound-feet, using a torque wrench. Plug the electrical connection in until the connector clicks.
