My experience with failed pressure sensors is that they tend to run 
lean.

Hard to say. I've never seen one that you could assemble wrong, 
but then again I was trying to do it right. 

The bellows should be sealed. If you can find any sign of a leak, 
then it is dead. I don't know how to transplant a good bellows from 
one sensor to another, but it MUST be possible. The 71 PS also 
has a brass diaphram which can crack, but a failure here will make 
it run rich.
