k so its carbon... how would I remove such a nasty thing screwing up my fun to be had in that truck? found this on another forum.. Is it worth trying or just say screw it.. and wait for the new one to get here?

thanks for all the help so far... ordered the o2 sensor.. dealer didnt have one or checker/or reilys/ or napa.. so I wait for 3-4 days from sacramento..(didnt want to pay the 30 bucks to overnight) 168.00 bucks.. I really think also that the knock is hitting because of another sensor.. o2 first then off to knock sensor.. Now the o2 sensor I have in there the whole tip is black.. is that carbon? well thanks again.. when part gets here we will get back on this thread!!

montana has no emmision's you have to pass.. I have a filler/straight pipe where your catalatic converter is.. with magna flow muffler it sounds like I will crush all that gets in the way.. and if I can get this damn problem fixed it will run like it too.. heheh I will be back on it in the am...

I am a total newb to pathy land so probably not..." i'm thinking you may be confusing r50 here." I am running out to check all the wires for knock sensor.. now with the help of casey I have a exact location to reach blindly into will report back very soon

k..here it is.. The o2 sensor is disconnected(wire/plug) The ecu is/was reset to ZERO (using the ecu guide) Ran pathy to operating temp.. Ran alot alot better.. didnt spuuter at all Tested ecu again when I parked... Came up with a 34 still (knock sensor) whats the deal-io ? so cool of everyone looking to help

now When I replaced tranny.. I did have to remove the o2 sensor. It was solid black on it. I am heading out right now to see if that did it... reseting the ecu codes to blank before I start it and unplug co2 I willr espond in a few minutes. EDIT: ok just unplugged the o2 sensor..and it ran great!! felt like I had a new truck. Put me back into the seat. BUT i forgot to reset the ecu before I started it. so I am reading the ecu stickie right now so I can head back out there. since I unplugged the o2 sensor if it is bad the ecu should ONLY throw back a 33 and not a 34 anymore right? we shall see back in a minute.

1992 pathy a/t 4x4 v30e So I finnaly got the new tranny installed and the truck pulled out on its own.. see video here.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghFonE8U36k...feature=channel I bought this truck with the full knowledge it had a tranny issue(tranny got really hot,b4 I bought it, and wouldnt move anymore) Once I got the tranny out realized the splines for the oil pump in the torque converter where gone, smoothed out. Who really knows what happened but I bet a clog of tranny fluid lead to a heat issue, then it siezed and stripped torque converter splines. Well anyways, I was never able to drive it and see if it had other issues..The guy i bought it from is a look good . not a mech sound vehicle. So now it runs.. well kinda.. thus why I have created this topic Heres the QUESTION... I start the truck idles fine. I put it in gear(man she shifts nicely ) and push on gas... and under a load it gets going but it feels like the engine is missing... once you get to about 2400 it starts pulsing the power the truck has is not as my friends pathy. I did the ecu codes.. and got back a 34 (knock sensor) contacted Casey.T about location and for pics which he graciously provided.. I now read on the forum the o2 sensor could also cause this problem and cause engine to knock ..setting off the knock sensor and messing up timing.. What exactly is my next step.. spend 10 minutes and 128 bucks and replace o2 sensor first and see if that works OR spend 4 hrs and 160 bucks and replace knock sensor first to see if that works thanks for all the advise that I hope is sure to follow
