Thanks. I'll try that today when I button it all back up.

Yeah she is. I thought about removing that but I didnt want to deal with bleeding brakes

Well this job ain't easy at all. Biggest problem is the nut that needs to come off right side of arm is nearly impossible to get to or even see. I tried everything. Then the wife says 'let me try'. Umm OK. So I splained what she needed to do. I laid a folded blanket on top of the engine and...

Yeah I looked that up and 99.2 is the default value. Means nothing. OK so I still have error in fuel sys 2 and no cat test on one side or the other. Thanks for info. What is ptec?

So here's a couple screen shots of today's run: Note the error on fuelsys2.obdII; the 99.22 on both O2S12.STFT.OBD and 02S22.STFT.OBD. The 'NO' for cat eval, ctr bottom. The 323dtc lists the dtcs. B1869; P1000; P0442; P0442-p; U2008; u2005; u2003.

I will post the others when I run it again today. Forscan did not save previous runs. I ordered the car new. Wanted the 5speed. Wish it was teamed with the V8. Exhaust smells like exhaust. Igniton coils replaced 10000 miles ago. The drives I took were 1/2 stop n go and half up/down highway hills.

So I ran it again and logged all the O2 sensors. All were good. Read a little and the 99.2% that is reported is a 'default value' if something's wrong. But what is that some3thing? Could be O2 sensors but they check out. Could be MAF? But I have problem only with one bank so that's probably...

They're worth what a fool (like me) will pay. Any pics?

Wow. It cost me about 5 times as much to rebuild my 2001 V6.

I've been disappointed with my V6 Getrag gas mileage. Measured at 16.1 and 17.x on recent >200 mile runs. Very bad. CEL not on. Hooked up forscan and found really bad numbers, 99.22% on STFT for bank 1 and bank 2 sensor 2s. Also have 'error' on fuel system 2. Gotta run again and log O2...

Between pres brandon and our gov newscum our gas prices are horrendous. :( LS going - All Things Must Pass - George Harrison. I'm using mine now as a cold weather car since the AC is real flaky. Gonna store it during the summer! I went to an autocross with LLSOC when cars were fairly new. Many...

Hi Mikey. Yes my mileage historically has been 20-22. At $4.79 for reg (yesterday) I seriously want to improve mpg. Also, how to pursue that 'error' in Fuel System 2. Forscan has no more info on it that I can find. Hey hope all's well with you and your getrag LS!

Yeah? Well this is a 5speed V6! :)

Car's been starting and running great since new battery. I ran forscan on it to try to find something I can do to increase mpg. Getting 17.0 in mixed driving. Not good. Forscan did show "Error" on one 'side' of fuel system. No further info. :(

Under car first time in a couple years. Just to change oil and filter. And investigate possible something loose in front end. Sure enough the driver's side upper control arm allows wheel movement by hand of I dunno, 1/2 inch or so. I could fix it but I'm getting tired of fixing cars. I'm old. :(
