My 1999 Explorer has started idling very rough (real low at stop lights, stalled out once) and is driving very rough and noticibly lacking power, especially under accelaration or from a dead stop. I am pretty confident that my O2 sensor has gone bad. I am a mechanic by no means, but am mechanically inclined and am sure I could replace these myself with a little guidance.. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, i would first run a diagnostic scan as a faulty O2 sensor will pull a code, i would be suspecting the idle control system, check for vacuum leaks, faulty plugs and do that scan as well. report your findings here for more assistance.
