And during running as well...especially if they're fouled up. (I've got
one at the shop that's "history"...at 86K miles.)

Actually they can be cleaned at home using a small portable propane
torch. Just be sure not to touch the end that sits in the exhaust
stream. Cleaning them simply means burning off the carbon deposits.
"Dirty" sensors have a slower response time under mostly cold and
warm-up conditions.
The torch can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle also.
