I hope the next time we all go to the polls we vote these liberal environmentalist wackos out. This computer crap has gone too far. My CEL has been on for over one year but the car functions perfectly and passed the emissions with flying colors.

Without it, you would be unable to run fuel injection. 1998 Silver Frost SVT Contour born on...8/28/01[/i] American Iron Shootout Radial Tire 2 Class Champion, Cecil County Dragway April 20, 2002

I agree with going for the O2 sensor from the top of the engine, but I'd still put the car on ramps to do this. The number of times I "accidently" dropped sockets and other stuff was countless. Took me a good 2 hours to do this O2 sensor. It was in there pretty good. hunter green 96 mystique mtx, sabb side markers deep tints car bra., K & N filter, hyper white low beams, after market fogs, JVC Kameleon head unit, 600 watt amp with 2 10" kicker subs, soon to come new rims New adition 01/11/2002 The original 95SE in Midnight Red all the toys including traction control Fog light mod, lightmoonroof switch from a focus, power antena (still wiring it up) post 98 sail panels, new water pump , Bosch quad plaitnum plugs, and a new Cat.
