I learn something new everyday ,there was a time I depended on the Chilton manuals but.now thanks to you tube and guys like yourself repairs are a whole lot easier to achieve thank you for sharing👍👍
I don't have o2 sensor socket anything I can use to as an substitute Thank you for this video I was going to take my car to the shop but you saved me money
After changing the sensor, is there a period of time for things to adjust? I know I'm not wording it right, but hope you know what I mean. I just changed mine and it was real easy except for that darned clip (it's always the clips that get me). I started it up after and it's still idling a little rough. I don't actually feel it, rather I hear something vibrating, near the dash, so it isn't too bad. But that's how it was before too. I haven't driven it yet because it was getting late, but will that possibly get better after driving a bit?
@@cmichelle5376this is kinda late but I think a faulty O2 sensor can cause either condition (too rich or too lean). When the one in my Dodge Stratus went bad it caused a lean condition.
Usually the o2s come with copper anti seize becuase you dont wanna use the other kinds on it. Its better on the o2 to use copper antiseize which should always be with it or already on the threads.
Hi bro, this is Colin here. Very nice informative video. My ride is a 09 Pontiac G6 2.4L . I was having very rough idle sometimes but when I drove no issues, very smooth. Yesterday my car shows check engine light, I run the diagnostic system and it shows " P1174-00 Fuel trim Cylinder balance " code. How do I fix this issue, can you give me some advice or can you do a video. Again Thank you for your time and consideration.
well it could be a number of things that can cause that. I would start with plugs and o2 sensor. then try check the voltage on the coils, and check the injectors. if there are no other codes i wouldnt think it would be one of the other sensors but it could be a weak sensor
I have in the pas done it with a big wrench if you can get to it. you can cut the wire and remove the old one without the special socket but the new one would have to be screwed in by hand and tightened with a wrench
Without an o2 code i cant say yes. But the o2s can be weak and throe bad signal without a code. The upstearm o2 os one sensor that helps regulate how much fuel the engine needs so it is a possibility
@@EfurdGarage. My brother's working on a 1931 Model A with the original engine that the owner INSISTS on keeping. PRIMATIVE!! I can drive a stick, but not that damned thing, and as badly out of shape as I am, I can RUN faster than that thing at full speed. My brother does mostly antique and classics. When it comes to engines like Ford flat heads, there aren't a lot of people who rebuild them according to him.
@@jacquelinegrice7311 He is right it has become a lost art, kinda like carbs are beginning to be a lost art. Nothing wrong with keeping it there are not many left
