Yeah it’s the LED type code, where I count the flashes on the computer. But the thing is is I’ve replaced the o2 sensor 5 times, reset the computer each time, and it still comes up as that code. I know it’s possible each sensor, including the OE one, is bad, but highly unlikely.
So any guesses as to why it keeps coming up the o2 sensor code?

Now my car doesn’t allow me to get back 60mph easily. As I am accelerating past 60 the engine knocks back and fourth and if I try and push it to the floor nothing happens. It doesn’t take off, its like it’s dead at 60 until I let off pedal. Any ideas? I’m stumped!

I def. need to get me a block tester, is it normal to smell gasoline when I take oil cap off?
Also, when I remove head bolts, and then re-torque them, is it a must to buy new head bolts?I def. need to get me a block tester, is it normal to smell gasoline when I take oil cap off?
Also, when I remove head bolts, and then re-torque them, is it a must to buy new head bolts?Here’s the hose with leakage. Within the past month I replaced spark plugs, but there is wet oil on the electrode end, I know it’s because I need to replace the o-rings on bottomside of plug wells.
For the vacuum leak, can I spray WD-40 instead of carb cleaner?

Coolant levels seem to be fine, but there is a hose that lately seems to be leaking a little. I know that water is normal out the tailpipe, but should I be concerned if there is more than usual? And it does idle okay. I can smell a hint of gasoline when I sniff inside when I take the oil cap off.

A mechanic said he believes the overdrive in the transmission isn’t working and that’s what is causing my car to run “rougher” at higher speeds. I’m researching the overdrive, but if he is right, would this also cause me to get an 02 code at the same speeds? Why would the 02 sensor be affected if this is the case?

[quote=”college man” post=53200]The running hot is causing the idle swings.
couple things to check.are the cooling fans
working? is the coolant full and free of air?
has any coolant work been done? when was the
last time the thermostat and radiator cap was
changed?The cooling fan is working just fine, I do keep the coolant full, and the thermostat was replaced (with aftermarket part) this past fall. And I actually replaced the radiator cap a couple weeks ago. I know when the thermostat was replaced the coolant was flushed. But it still could be that there’s air. Another thing it does is as it’s overheating, the resevoir tank fills all the way up, sometimes spills out and the cap is as tight as crap.
