Okay, this is my first post here, but definately not my first visit. I have reviewed the FAQ and found them very helpful in diagnosing some of the problems I've encountered with my 95' contour.
So the CEL blinks intermittently usually after 20-30 minutes of city driving. I ran the codes using the info provided in the FAQ (volt meter option) and came back with codes 179 and 189, but I suspect I just missed a blip on the first one, so in reality it should be the 189 code. Now the list of errors on the FAQ indicate the 189 code is an O2 sensor, but could I get verification from you guys that it is in fact a 02 sensor for the 4cyl 95 contour with the ATX.
I Checked with Part Source, and they say that there is only the one O2 sensor, is this true for the 4cyl?
**I had the MAF changed about a year ago prior to the CEL issue
**I changed the oil, I heard that might trigger the problem.
**I changed the Thermostat, was getting higher temps and thought it might have something to do with the CEL.
**I changed the O2 sensor, and the day after the CEL came back.
Now I saw another post where a person suggested cleaning throttle bodies and upper intakes and lower intakes. This seems like it could cost alot of money if I F*ck up. I also looked for a Haynes manual for my car, and PartSource doesn't have any in stock.
Any Idea what I should do, besides selling the car????
Thanks,
T-Bone
