Looked real quick that engine supposedly did not have an egr. Can you tell if that larger hole terminates or goes back into manifold? If it did have an egr there could be an exhaust leak ahead of the o2 sensor causing it to freak out and cause some of the durability issues you describe. Plus that would be a pretty good vacuum leak as well even though that style was electronic controlled egr.

Hmmmm interesting. That looks like where the egr was located. If I remember right they phased out the egr in 2000. Can you tell me what the eighth and tenth character of the VIN is? I’d have to look it up but I think there were some with egr valves depending on engine.

Awesome I believe you may have found the lack of your erg valve if I’m thinking right. Jared my memory when I reread your first post. Don’t hold me to it but I’d recognize it if I see a pic. The egr was in that general vicinity I believe. This could be source of a rough idle too if removed and not properly sealed off.

The vacuum in the HVAC system is what makes your doors move to select between heat AC and position. You know that little whoosh noise when you move the HVAC controls? That’s the vacuum moving the doors. They do leak sometimes but usually you’ll notice the lack of control of the doors. (you lose heat/AC/position control)

HIDs don’t live well in reflector style housings. They tend to scatter light instead of focusing it where it needs to be and tends to attract unwanted attention from those guys with blue bubble gum machines that light up on top of their cars. Do chalk up at least the purchase of projector assemblies to get them to work right. I would also avoid those 4.99 specials on Ebay (insert sarcasm here). That being said I’d probably get some quality halogen bulbs and go with that. Much cheaper than getting HIDs to work right. Plus some jurisdictions are funny about aftermarket stuff if inspections are commonplace where you live.
