Replying to: gurumaa (Jun 13, 2009 8:28 am) There are 2 oxygen sensors. One is located on the exhaust manifold or down pipe and the other is on the outlet of the cat. Change the one on the cat first.    Regards, Corkscrew

Replying to: njbigler (Jul 11, 2009 5:25 pm) It sounds like your sensor may be in open loop.Open loop means that the engine is running on a fixed rich mixture. This usually happens when the sensor is not hot enough to do its job..(600 degrees) 1 Check for damage to the new sensor, be sure connections are clean and tight when replacing with an oem sensor 2 Using a "universal" sensor instead of an original equipment sensor where you had to cut and splice the wires. (they may be spliced wrong) 3 Check coolant temperature sensor as the computer considers coolant temp when deciding whether or not to go into closed loop 4 Oxygen sensors have to "breathe" so don't use grease on the connections Regards, Corkscrew Replies to this message: njbigler (Jul 13, 2009 10:42 am) corkscrew (Jul 14, 2009 1:17 pm) corkscrew (Jul 14, 2009 3:09 pm)

Replying to: corkscrew (Jul 13, 2009 7:47 am) Hi thank you for the help. the instructions said that the only wire that is important is the heater wire. it is the wite wire, but there were 2 o them. on the grouping the only color on the car was black to match up. there was a black and red wire to.   My question is do I use both the solid black for one withe and then the black and red for the other. or do I put both wite wires on the solid black?   also what should I do about the check engen light. it is still on I restet it by taking the battery cable off but it just turns back on later? Does it have to be cleared by a computer?   Yhank you for the help. Replies to this message: corkscrew (Jul 14, 2009 1:17 pm) corkscrew (Jul 14, 2009 3:09 pm)

Replying to: njbigler (Jul 13, 2009 10:42 am) First, your replacement sensor should have the same number of wires as the harness. Two white wires are for the heater,if it is a Bosch sensor. The black wire is for the signal and grey is ground. Refer to a vehicle wiring diagram to be sure the wires are connected correctly.  After the wires are connected correctly you will be able to reset the check engine light Replies to this message: corkscrew (Jul 14, 2009 3:09 pm)

Replying to: corkscrew (Jul 14, 2009 1:17 pm) Most public libraries have auto repair reference centers.EBSCOhost is an online reference center. You will find your wiring diagram there. Corkscrew
