Just got a new BOSCH O2 sensor...wasn't cheap.
Okay, so if I install it and then run Sea Foam, will I damage the sensor or even worse, the cat?

No, it's designed to be run through a modern engine.

My FPR blew and sent raw through the engine...killed my O2 sensor. I hope the cat is okay.

Sounds like your FPR was all ready on it's way out.

All fuel pumps and FPR have been replaced...O2 sensor next. Then clean the MAF and Sea Foam.

You do realize you just said your engine had raw fuel dumped into it right?

Sorry, I'm at work and bored.
