Have you tried online and the library for repair manuals like Haynes, Chilton's or Factory?

have to wait till i get back to daytona to get my hands on the book from the library

if its causing a cel just replace it. how long have you had it in the car? im taking its an oem part? - i really don't understand this part...

could someone shed more light..

is it the original oxygen sensor? if it is they are supposed to be replaced every 50k for max performance

i.e. just change the 50 dollar sensor and problem solved

50 bucks... woah...

Thats £27 UK Quid ! crikey thats cheep !! will be importing one rather than getting one from the UK...

wideband ones how much are they ? my cars done 86,000 miles so prudent to replace especially as just got an APEXi S AFC computer....

wideband vary in price. ive seen a whole setup for like 350. but that includes a guage

i have found this site in the uk

not sure if they export but

cheap

Can't use wide band with stock ECU. You can add a wide band to tune the engine. I believe the wide band got different output signal.

when i e-mailed them they asked for the model number on the stock item , didnt mention any problems as straight swap...

will e-mail them again and double check and re post if wrong

Cheers

Stu!

Most likely they give you OEM replace one, not wide band.

boy, i just spent like 700 on repairing my baby at the toyota dealer...

and i thin i was overcharged... will post details soon...

from what i can remeber, it's a replacement of a drive belt and some cv axle replacement thing... and when i looked at it.. the parts cost like 1/6 of the labour charges...

for 4 1/2 hrs of labour... i was charged like 4++ bucks...
