    Hi
    I have a 96 Elantra that is idling very rough and has un-usually high gas
    consumption.
    I've brought the car into a dealer and , they tell me that both oxygen
    sensors need to be replaced it pointed out P1 and P2 sensors and the MAS
    ( mass air flow sensor).
    The MAS sensor was replaced and the car is now driveable
    I suspect only one O2 is faulty I'd hate to change both at $200 cnd each.
    On the Hyundai tech site http://www.hmaservice.com/webtech/ running through
    the trouble shooting steps it says the most likely suspect would be the
    "down stream" oxygen sensor , now this is where I'm confused , would down
    stream be after the converter ?
    Thanks
    Jose

    The downstream oxygen sensor won't affect your fuel mileage. The computer
    uses it to assess the efficiency of the converter.
