Quick and Simple ?

If I'm reading the diagnostic charts correctly, code 13 and code 44(lean exhaust i believe) are related to each other??  Code 13 just popped up today during cruise.

I would clear the codes and see if they come back. If the 02 is old then change it. If the codes come back then it's time to look for other problems.

02's and CC's slower than normal on your SM?

[phil_long]

The cc's seem to be ok.  They increasing by 20 something each time.  As far how fast they're increasing, it seems normal.  Wouldn't be that big of deal to replace i suppose.  I'll reset the ECM to see if they come back.  Steve Wood told me that my MAF wasn't calibrated properly which is why i'm in the process of purchasing a MAF sensor.  I just received the translator, now i just have to get the MAF.  I was just wondering if that could be the culprit.  My INT is locked in at 150.

go ahead and install this sensor   http://www.densoproducts.com/more_info.asp?AAIA=1020957&pid=2238

and go get a maf sensor to work with your Translator

[phil_long]

Will do. Thanks.  Is this O2 sensor better than the ones they have at any local parts store?? Just curious

[SuperSix]

Yes. They seem to take a bit more abuse than the A/C Delco or Bosch.

[Scoobum]

Phil, grab the one Steve recommends. I've had two AC Delcos crap out on me...and have had to swap 'em out on the side of the road.

[phil_long]

Alright guys, I'll grab that one.   

[phil_long]

I meant to post this a few days ago, but is there a certain procedure on how to swap out the O2 sensor? It seems to be in a very inconvenient spot...

[Steve Wood]

take the cover off the turbo so you can see a bit better.  Unplug the O2 sensor lead connector.  Slide the wrench over the lead and onto the sensor..remove

[phil_long]

Hahaha.  That easy huh?

[SuperSix]

Yea - once you get in there and use the right tools, it's relatively easy. Relatively.

[Scoobum]

7/8 wrench...break it loose...then spin it out by hand. Should take you about 1 minute.

Neverseize the threads LIGHTLY upon install.
2500 degree nickel stuff.
Next time it won't take an hour like this time will.
