    He breaks out in a poison ivy type rash. This must be some therapeutic to get him to fix one of the Ford Fleet.:rofl2::rofl2:

    Rev, try the AutoZone Repair Guides, they often have diagrams. :)

    Are you saying it's not connected at all? I can't help you there if that's the case. But if it's got a wire or two (out of a 4 wire harness) that are not connected, it might be that someone replaced a two wire sensor with a 4 wire sensor. (Passive heating vs powered heating on the O2 sensors)

    its got a ONE wire O2 sensor up on the drivers side right off the exhaust pipe after the manifold.....but no matter how many wires it COULD have:D....i cannot for the life of me find the other end that would come out of the harness:whew:

    Im just wondering if its hidden somewhere....you know...the GM gawds screwing with me so to make sure i NEVER buy another GM...:rofl:....cuz man....the gas milage sucks the big one right now:49:

    Cirque Du Soleil is always taking applications...:rofl2:

    You probably have to reboot the car or fiddle with some code reader, OR, something else is haunting it...:rofl2:

    Funny thing about all cars, after the warranty, they all wanna be F.O.R.D.s - Fix Or Repair Daily.:rofl2:

    Well it's OBD-I so it should be pretty easy to scan for codes and figure out why the check engine light is on.
