: Anyways, my service manual explains how to reset the warning light, but does not tell where the sensor is. I am assuming it is somewhere just

: before the catlytic converter. Anyone know
: where??
:
: **************************************************
: Your gettin' warmer, but not quite there.
: Typically, the O2 sensor is installed in the
: exhaust manifold, right near the tansition
: to the first exhaust pipe. It's removable
: with a wrench, and usually has a single wire
: coming out of the end.
:
: Also, what damages/ effects will occur if it is
: not replaced? This morning , for the first
: time ever, the engine died while coming to a
: stop off the freeway. It this related, or a
: fluke??

: **************************************************
: Typically, the O2 sensor is used by the
: computer to monitor the amount of oxygen in
: the exhaust, which relates to whether the
: engine is running rich or lean, then adjusts
: the fuel injection for an optimium reading.
:
: Hmmmm. Is this a slant 6 we're talkin about?

: Roger

: If you have an O2 sensor then this car must
: have the California emission system with the
: O2 feedback system and special carburetor
: with wires coming out of the top of it. The
: O2 sensor is in the exhaust manifold,
: immediatley ahead of the starter motor. I'd
: have to dig out my service manual for that
: year to verify, but I don't think the O2
: sensor will affect idle fuel rato. I believe
: it only affects the fuel ratio during actual
: driving conditions.
