Check engine light is on, code P0133 which is an oxygen sensor. Are there more than one, and does this tell me which one? I'll search and see if I can figure it out. Edit: Okay read that this is the front one, next wondering if it is difficult to remove. Odd thing, I looked at it a month ago but co...

Thanks very much, I watched Robert's video again and I do see what you're saying. Okay I think we're ready to do it. Thanks again everyone! +1 on the Abscate Mantra, propane is fine, you're not trying to melt anything, just get its attention so it will accept more juice and release the rust grip. S...

Aside from an academic interest, spending many hours of bench time replacing caps and reflowing joints, then putting a 25 year old relay back in the car, doesn'...

Maybe this was answered earlier, but why does an undamaged, drivable car end up at auction? As I recall, it was listed as a charity sale; there are multiple reasons folks donate their cars to a charity instead of trying to sell it on their own, a tax writedown being one, and some people would rathe...

Pretty good looking car, and running and driving to boot. Excellent job getting it home - even if it was two gulps. I lost my blue GLT to a timing belt idler failure, and was so disappointed, I couldn't bring myself to scrap it. It's sitting under the willow oak, slowly donating parts to its sibling...

The Weather Man finally gave me something besides monsoon or arctic, so I washed the container holding all my spare cash from the last year or so.
Just found the "R" badge I bought last spring. I think it's time.
