...when you can get a good parking space at the mall on Black Friday because you are the only vehicle that can park ON TOP of the huge snow pile left over from plowing the lot. Yeah that got some funny looks from people driving their fancy Lexus's and Mercedes.:looser:

Mine didnt throw a code for at least 2 months check all your sensors wiring for cracks or like mine spots that melted. Good luck!

I put a Banks header on my '97 about 6 months ago, and I dont remember a doughnut in the stock manifold to downpipe connection. Pretty sure the flare on the y-pipe end provides the seal. For my install I used the doughnut that came with the header and it seals great.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Well it turns out when I installed my new header about 6 months ago I routed the wiring from the computer to the O2 sensor just barely too close to the intake and exhaust header. And over the past six months I believe it has gradually melted the wires. I ended up cutting out...

Im not sure of the code but it said something along the lines of 'high voltage oxygen sensor bank 1' it might have said 'short curcuit' in there too I dont remember after last night:cheers:. Like you said FunTech I think I need to check the wiring going from the sensor to the computer because...

Well there is no "k" in the display but the dial is set to "20k" on the multimeter ohms scale. In the display it says 11.67 and below the period is the number 20. The settings available on the ohms scale are "200" "2k" "20k" "200k" "2M" "20M" Craftsman Digital Multimeter 82170

I guess the engine is still cooling down. Did another reading and it was 11.67 so maybe 11,670ohms?

Well im not sure if I have my multimeter set correctly but when testing the resestance(ohms) I put it on 20k ohms. When the engine is cool(equal to Kansas outside temp of 35*F) I get a reading of 9.60ohms. And when at operating temp. of 195*F I get a reading of 1.10ohms. Is this actually single...

Alright I did the CTS check. Sensor reads 1.84ohms @ 130* and 1.10ohms at 195*. What do you think birchlake? While doing this reading the engine was idling erratically and definately backfired while I was under the hood:explosion

Im an idiot...CTS=Coolant Temerature Sensor like you mentioned before.

I think you are right about two separate issues. I went ahead and replaced the upstream O2 sensor and im still having the issue. What is my CTS and how do I check it?

If you recall from the OP I have already replaced the IAC. Thanks for the idea tho. Just last night the CEL lit up(after months of dealing with the problem) went to get the code scanned..turns out to be the upstream O2 sensor short curcuit. I replaced the downstream O2 sensor when my old...

Thanks for the input, where might I find the coolant temp. sensor? I know there is a plug that goes into the thermostat housing but im guessing this is the one that feeds the coolant temp guage.

Have been having a problem for a few months now and Im to the point where Im tired of it and want to fix it. It does it intermittenly so I am having trouble pinpointing it. When I start the engine it will idle around 750rpm then drop down really low to where the engine about dies, but it never...

I could track down a torch but the problem is there is not enough bolt sticking out to grab onto it or grind the sides down. I actually just had the gas tank out a few months ago to replace my fuel pump, and I hacked off the old rusted hangers and replaced them and added wing nuts...so dropping...

Yeah its my daily driver...and I had been soaking everything with PB blaster a couple times per day a week before the install. Im thinking instead of drilling it out and retapping it I can drop the gas tank, cut an access hole from the backside, and use and extractor and heat to get the bolt...

Thanks for the advice! I did search for 'broken bolt' and came up with an interesting solution of welding a nut to the end of the bolt...unfortunately the nut kept breaking off when I tried. I think tomorrow the gas tank is coming out so I can access the bolt from the back side...hopefully I...

Thanks for the ideas so far but keep em coming...I have tried welding a nut to the end of the snapped bolt, no luck...unfortunately I don't have access to an acetylene torch only a propane torch. I was thinking about dropping my gas tank and making an access hole from the inner side of the...

So I have been working hard this weekend to get my 1.5in. Teraflex BB installed and all has went well until just a little bit ago. In the process of removing the stock shackles I snapped the upper shackle to frame bolt. I was able to get both upper and lower shackle bolts out on the passenger...
