Kano( Kroil) penetrating fluid squirt it on rusty nuts and bolts let it set
awhile works 99% of the time.
Adhd lol
That is where i should get one. I do not have a check engine light on. I
think the map sensor may be dirty on my truck but I dont know but I notice
in hot weather it likes to ping a little and use a ton of gasoline.
Yeah, leaky batteries can cause a whole load of troubles lol. I had that
problem on the Sundance I used to drive.
That’s Blackjack 🙂 he belongs to one of my neighbors, and roams around.
he’s the same one that I have in a few photos.
Ya!! Random A.D.D. kitty time!! What a pretty kitty too!!! 🙂
You know O2 sensors usually never go bad. They get dirty. I soaked mine in
gasoline in a jar over night. then the next day I wire brushed it a little
bit. Then I used a propane torch to heat the tip up good. Wire brushed and
used compressed air to blow it out a little. Reinstalled WALA O2 is clean
and working again. It didnt cost me nothing. Auto parts stores love to sell
you one for 50 bucks.
Nice job. I have a 97 ram 1500 5.9 mag. I was getting a cruise control
fault and an o2 sensor reporting lean air/fuel mix. I looked under the hood
and found that the battery had leaked onto the vacuum line that runs from
the CC to the intake and it was shot. Replaced it now the CC works the
codes are gone and it runs like new. Besides horrid gas millage.lol pretty
easy fixes on the Rams.
I actually bought my sensor from ebay for about $25. The sensors themselves
usually don’t go bad, but many of them have internal heaters which is the
part that usually fails If the sensor doesn’t get to a certain temperature
by the time the computer starts looking for a signal, it will throw a code
and go into closed loop mode, which usually defaults to a rich mixture so
it won’t damage the engine by running lean.
