  • Get the water hot then let them soak for 7 hours, when the water will cool down in under 30 minutes 😂

    A 50-50 mix of concentrated Simple Green and water. If you soak carboned up pistons in it they come out looking new in about 30 minutes. I just did this for 8 pistons for my 350 Chevy rebuild. Still had to clean the ring lands, but it even made that easier.

    Wow seems very intresting i never tried cleaning sensors before i just replaced them whenever they goes bad.
  • @friguy4444
    "The water might be too hot?" LOL. Those sensors have heating that makes them go over 600F.
  • @user-pj5ff6xw4x
    Just spray them with carburetor cleaner and you're good to go

    Great collection of the hazardous waste in this one!
  • @P1X1E56
    Great video, really helpful, thanks from UK.
  • @atxjax1
    A+ for effort and clear video. Placebo effect though.............cold water isn't going to clean carbon deposits.
  • Dang! No carbs are coming out of my sensor, only protein. I'm disappointed.
  • @daviderhahon
    What exactly did you spray onto the sensor? Water or carb cleaner or isopropyl alcohol?
  • @locknload9143
    Or you can spray and soak with brake cleaner for 5 minutes then clean up the outsides also with a soft wire wheel or brush.
  • @stubaker2574
    what about multipupose electronic cleaner/duster compressed air?
  • @iamtdot
    If you're cleaning the sensor as part of your maintenance great but if you're doing it because your having a problem with your sensor? Before attempting to clean it, test it with a multimeter to make sure it's not faulty. No point in cleaning a failing sensor.
  • @darrenvogel8096
    You should soak them in gas for 12-24 hours, gas dissipates fast when taken out so no left over fluid is in your sensor, gas also eats away carbon deposits
  • @laragreene8328
    I usually keep throttle body cleaner around as the throttle body gets dirty often. I'd probably use that to clean the o2 sensors....or something better than water. But its still a good video. I prefer cleaning first before buying new parts.

    I soaked my toyota vitz 2007 upstream oxygen sensor in hot water for around an hour. Then i spray it with wd 40. When i install back the sensor then its giving p0135 code which shows heater element fault in oxygen sensor. Don't know what happend with the sensor. Any idea?
