Greetings,
I'm debugging my engine and in addition to other problems (other threads), it's running very rich - black soot on the brand new plugs.
When I took the head off recently, all the coolant ran down and off the O2 sensor I had out of the exhaust pipe. In addition, a lot of the coolant got in the pipe (via the collector which was apart) so when I started it up, there was a huge amount of water in the pipe.
Could the coolant 'bath' and then the steam from the coolant in the pipe have messed up my O2 sensor or is it able to handle that? Just trying to figure out if I need to change the sensor.
Thanks!
