    Oil Pan Damage Question.

    Before I changed the sway bar bushings I was having this issue but that is interesting. I reused everything but the bushing when I attached it back. But I could take the sway bar off drive a little and see. Could bad suspension be an issue? No swaybar for a short time wont hurt anything right?

    Code 12 And 91 Check Engine Light On.

    I have a '89 5 speed convert. I checked my computer and got code 12 and 91 I see that 12 is base idle what should that be with my IAC unplugged? Also 91 is a O2 sensor correct? If so I will replace them both they are the stock originals from '89. Any other ides or suggestions?
