[V8] Forward #10: Failed Emissions Miserably

[Zay]

I will do that but the 02 sensor is only a year old.  Is there anything that
could have damaged the 02 sensor?  If that is the case I want to fix that
before I replace and have it go bad again.  Thanks for the quick reply.

If anyone else replies to this e-mail, please also reply to
rcampozano at mgmmirage.net since I will be at work tomorrow and cannot get to
this e-mail page from work.

Thanks again,
