Good point. I don't recall whether the thread was here or in another group,
but at least one poster reported improved throttle response after replacing
an O2 sensor. It is easy to assume the "check engine" light will tell us if
the O2 sensor is bad, but they apparently can get pretty "soft" before the
ECU complains.
