Default o2 sensor what are ..?

how do you know when your o2 sensor is gone?

my car is hesitating just slightly on the take off...; i got new plugs, new oil, all new fluids, etc. Could it possibly be my o2?

If your o2 sensor is bad it will through a code. Not likely o2 sensor.

It could also be a TPS sensor as well. Clean the MAF first as that is usually the most vunerable to the elements and the easiest to fix. A missing 02 sensor will almost immediatley throw a code when it "goes missing"
