I'm pretty sure that these failures are being caused by something Obama
has done, but I'm trying to figure out the exact connection. Probably
something related to Cash for Clunkers. Or maybe it's related to the
health care proposals.

How much does a Toyota dealer charge in labor for an 02 sensor or
air/fuel ratio sensor replacement?

Between plugging in the OBDII scanner, looking up the fault code,
getting the car up on the lift, and swapping it out, took about 20
minutes. I'd think that they must charge at least an hour in labor
charges plus the mark-up on the part. The shop I go to would have
charged me by actual time at $40/half-hour if they had charged me labor.

The amount the dealer or independent shop would charge for labor depends on
their hourly rate and the flat rate book they use. My guess is hour.
