2002 mercury villager estate. Have been having o2 sensor code come up but once cleared it could go another day before its back. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you located all of the vehicle's [oxygen sensors](/topics-oxygen-sensor-ford/)? Are the wires leading to and from each intact and in good shape?

I know that but why the clunk when she tried to turn over then she starts. [Starter](/topics-starter-ford/)? Timing belt?
Automotive Expert
Good morning This sounds like the starter engagement is giving you the clunk. I would suspect the starter motor itself. Roy

Ok now all of a sudden it has not done it all day. Like it is fixed. Still need to get sensor 1 but that would not cause clunk
Automotive Expert
No, it will not. Roy
