    Is there a way to test O2 sensors?

    Is there a way to test O2 sensors, I believe my oil leak soaked the sensor conection and stopped it from working. I am wondering if my sensors are still good or if I have to get another set.

    torque wrench doesn't read in/lbs do I have to buy one?

    to reinstall the oil pan on my car it says to torque to 110-114 in/lbs, my torque wrench reads in ft/lbs, what is the damn conversion. Do I need to buy another torque wrench? I got my torque specs from the Brothers performance catalog, if this is wrong please let me know.

    Driver's seat tweeked

    if you have a welder or know how to use a rivet gun this is an easy fix. Its as simple as taking the seat out of the car and peeling back the upholstery on the seat back. You only have to move about 8 inches. With the fabric removed you'll see that the seat is essentially two stamped steel...

    going to pull my tranny

    Cool had hope to change my oil pan gasket while the tranny was out? making it easier to move the engine enough to slide the pan out. Is this a good idea or should I find a hoist and lift the engine up a little instead of using a jack. I would imagine the jack would be unsafe and unstable. What...

    How to I remove my window crank handle?

    if I remember correctly there is a bolt or screw in the center and then you can use a panel popper or carefully pry at it to get it to pop off.

    going to pull my tranny

    I plan on pulling the manual transmission out of my car and taking it to a shop to get fixed. How do I support the engine with the tranny out?

    which battery to buy?

    the red might have slightly higher CCA, other than that I can' think of any disadvantages besides the price.

    how do i get my winshield wiper arms off

    lift the wiper off the windsheild and near the base where the wiper connects to the car there is a little tab. The tab slides out locking the wipers in place. Then you simply slide the whole assembly off the car. Hope this helps.

    Check engine light comes on after 10-15 minutes of driving???

    RESULTS! Ok guys here are the results for my particular case. I'm not sure on the particular "code" that I was triggering. I did read off the screen that my O2 sensor was sending erratic signals, and that I was supposed to check and see if there was a fluid leak that might have caused...

    Check engine light comes on after 10-15 minutes of driving???

    Ok guys I'm putting off running the codes because it is so much easier to have my friend use his snap-on scanner to tell me what is wrong. He's going to come help me out tomorrow, so I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.

    Deltusurf will pull the codes this weekend and let you guys know what was going on. I'm leaning toward the O2 sensors too. thanks for the speculation.

    Check engine light comes on after 10-15 minutes of driving???

    OK my check engine light comes on only after driving for a little while and if I turn off the car it is reset and will come on again after 10 - 15 minutes. I'm guessing its a bad sensor, but can't check the codes until the weekend. Does anyone want to speculate on what it could be. THe car idles...
