Probably not... sounds more like idle air control or EGR valve sticking or maybe as simple as fuel filter

Not usually, but O2 sensors have about 60 to 70 thousand mile life spans

Find out why the light is on. Maybe you broke or dislodged a connector when you replaced the sensor.

Check engine light low voltage o2 sensor 04 chevy ventura

your code must be P0131, a P0131 code refers to the first oxygen sensor on Bank 1. P0131 means the O2 oxygen sensor's voltage remained low for longer than 2 minutes. This is interpreted by the ECM as a low voltage condition and sets the MIL. Bank 1 Sensor 1 is located in front of the catalytic converter.
The solution is you can:
1.Replace faulty sensor.
2.Repair short, open, or high resistance on o2 signal circuit. FB.init("dd7d9e9681341cde77587bc6a2029f6f"); OBD-Codes.com on Facebook

I have a problem with my ford idleing, it stalls sometimes at street lights. o2 sensor? where is it, how can i find it?

Depending on the engine in your explorer you may have 2,3 or 4 o2 sensors. these sensors are located screwed into the exhaust system, one before and one after the cat converter, if the truck has two converters then there will be 4 sensors. the problem you listed is that it stalls at idle or stop lights, this sounds alot like a bad idle air control valve which is very common on fords,also try cleaning the throtlebody, use cleaner and a tooth bruch open the throtle plate and clean good, if this doesnt help then i would look at the idle control valve. hope this helps.

2003 dodge ram 5.7L intermittently has a rough idle and an idle rpm of 500 I think the normal is 650. When I put it in gear the idle picks up and smooths out. Sometimes it will do this in gear and stall...

okay, the o2 code can cause problems, theres a problem with one of the o2 sensors, theres 2 or 4 sensors,the repair was not done right or theres another bad o2 sensor, next thing i would check is the idle air control motor,this sounds like it sticks at time or just stops working,start with these things first,

I have a 98 Acura TL 3.2. The check engine light has been on for a while and one of the O2 sensors was on the diagnostic code. I opted out of replaceing it for a while and now I have a flashing check...

When O2 sensor is bad the check engine light coming on is a warning. If you leave it go the computer will go into "limp" mode till it is replaced. You have to give the computer time to recalibrate itself after replacing, up to 150 or so....

Codes say O2 problems even after both have been changed

The code says there is a problem, it does not say where in the circuit the problem is, it could be the wiring to the sensors, it could be the PCM (powertrain control module) in your case it sounds like an intake manifold vacuum leak.
