Default bad secondary O2 sensor?

99 Lude
Had a check engine light on since Feb. and sometimes the car drops to a pretty low RPM at a stop but it boosts it back no big deal.
Today, the car is stalling out at stops although it easily restarts.


I pulled a code months and months and months ago, I believe it said secondary O2 (although I need to pull it again to make sure).

Is this behavior consistant with what a bad secondary 02 would do?
ANd what would be cost to get it fixed if so?

Thanks as always!

Could be a gummed-up IACV .... You might want to try cleaning it... that'll set you back a whopping $3 for intake cleaner and about 5 minutes of your time. Doubtful that would cause your engine code but the symptom you describe may not be related to the code anyway.

I'm reasonably sure it is related. Code has been ON since Feb. (I've really been too poor to face up to it). Started just dipping to low RPMs and picking back up at stops. Yesterday was the first time it started just dying (RPM drop was too low ie. 0)

What would a secondary 02 sensor replacement cost? Incl. labor?

Recheck the codes, cause you may have more than just the O2 sensor now...
