I replaced both O2 sensors and put fresh plugs in it, but the code keeps tripping. It doesn't stutter, misfire or run bad at all. It still gets the same 22-24mpg as it did when when we bought it new.<br /><br />Any ideas on something else (cheap) that might be tripping the code? I was just pricing the cat and OMG. I sure hope it comes with some anal lube for what those things cost.<br /> <br /> <small>[ December 03, 2011, 08:55 PM: Message edited by: wilit ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SS396 chevelle</b> <br /><small>Member # 7277</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,11,4,1,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The cat an done an went killed it self <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SLOWSN95</b> <br /><small>Member # 8269</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,11,4,21,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Basically o2s and the monitors are working together to determine what's going thru the exhaust.
