Yes, another good place to look.  If you have a multi-meter, the voltage 
on the O2 sensor should vary from 0 to 1V pretty rapidly, like twice per 
second.  If it is stuck at 0V or moves slowly, like 1 or 2 seconds to go 
from 0 to 1v and back, the O2 is worn out.  If it is stuck at 1V, look 
for intake leaks first.
