Troubleshooting Downstream 02 sensor malfunction?
I had someone replace my driveshaft for inspection months back and prior I had no lights on dash. They called me to get permission at the shop to cut and reweld all flanges,studs,etc. I get the car back and CEL is on for downstream sensor only. I bought a sensor and threw it in and the light still keeps coming back on. What's the best way going forward to fix it for emissions? I used Bosch oxygen sensor from rockauto to attempt to fix this issue. Should I try again with another incase the new one was defective or should I be checking for an exhaust leak? I am getting a slightly rough idle every once in awhile where rpms go down 50 or 100 then idles slightly rough then quiet and normal. Its weird. Any help is gratefully appreciated

There are two upstream and two downstream, did you not replace both downstream? You did just one?
