What happens when 02 sensor goes out?
If the oxygen sensor is going bad, the fuel-delivery and fuel-combustion systems will be thrown off. If a bad oxygen sensor disrupts the air to fuel ratio mixture, or too much fuel is injected into the engine, your vehicle’s gas mileage will be reduced.

What should my 02 sensors read?
When the air/fuel ratio is perfect and the fuel mixture is 14.7:1 (stoichiometric), the sensor will generate approximately 0.45 volts. This is difficult for the engine controller to achieve. On a normal operating O2 sensor you should see the voltage bounce around quite a bit from rich to lean.
