no... not yet. i was tackling a very bad viberation at high speed issue for awhile. turned out to be bad rear drivers side hub and barring.

I may do the brake check valve this weekend or so... but i highly doubt it is going to be it. but, who knows...lol thanks for checking up on that w/ me!

Posted by: BigWaveDave

thanks for the help guys...are they located on the exhaust manifolds......the upstream ones??

Before you go and change O2 sensors, go around the engine and check everywhere for vacuum leaks. If you have a vacuum leak that is out of the ocmputers tolerance, it will also give you those codes.

+2
99% of the time if you have BOTH banks lean its usually a vac leak, with the eng running spray brake clean around the intake manifold, and when the eng stumbles theres your leak. whats the likeliness of both sensors failing at the same time?
