    Initial problem was indicated by "Check Engine" light. Follow-up with a OBD-II code reader (a $40 must-have item for a DIY repairman) pin-pointed a faulty Air/Fuel sensor on rear exhaust manifold. Replaced with a new sensor (about $160) from local parts store. Access to the sensor is cramped and limited, but certainly do-able. Cleared codes, replaced sensor, drove for 100 miles, passed state emissions inspection, no issues after 2 months.

    Check engine light came on at about 25000 miles. Toyota dealership found thatboth O2 sensors were bad . I had them replace them at about $600. At 50,000 miles the O2 sensors went bad again. This time I did not bother replacing them as the gas mileage not noticeably affected. But, I need to stare at the check engine light every day.

    Very upset. Oxygen and fuel sensors bad on Toyota Sienna that only has 13,000 miles on it and has been impeccably maintained. Not a Toyota fan if I am going to have to pay for this.

    The Oxygen sensor at the back of the engine was replaced to stop the engine light.

    Not sure about mileage.

    Had to have 2 sensors replaced within a couple of years. Mechanic suggested clicking gas cap at least 7 times when tightening. Have had no problems since...fingers crossed.
