Default 02 sensors

does it make sense that if you replaced the rear sensors that then the front sensors would blow soon thereafter?

If your sensors were contaminated with something, it's possible to have them all go bad at different times. Did you change anything recently? How many miles?

Are they all the same age? Probably just a coincidence that the fronts went after the rears. It's unlikely that the rears would cause the fronts to go bad because they are just there to gauge how efficient the catalytic converters are. So I vote for coincidence.

the car is a 98. Sensors have not been replaced before. Nothing changed on the car except that I race it only. It's garaged.

Bad sensor will show an error code, is your Check Engine light on? If not then they should be operating within parameters set in the PCM.

yep, check engine light was on both times. When the back went and when the front went. I'm just wondering how much the dealer would have charged me for the $800.00 the regular mechanic charged me. And hopefully the mechanic was being honest.
