maybe it would have been quicker to list what they didn't replace. :D

what is the difference between an oxygen sensor and an air/fuel sensor?

now I could be wrong...but I sort of think you were slightly taken for a ride to have purchased ALL of those parts to fix your problem. However, I'm not a mechanic and wtf do I really know. but seriously...just to be safe and change it all out is one thing but to change out perfectly good parts is another.

You are right. If your CEL codes checked out for one of those sensors, you only replace whatever is faulting. Not all of them.
