The sensor is threaded into the exhaust manifold.
It can be difficult to remove unless a special anti-seize compound is coated onto its threads.
Torque the sensor to 30 foot-pounds using a special socket.
A sensor that is too loose or a cracked exhaust manifold can result in a lean signal to the computer.
Check the vents in the thimble of a replacement O2 sensor.
There should be the same number of holes and they should face clockwise or counterclockwise like the ones on the original sensor.
Installing the wrong sensor can result in slower cross counts.
