Thanks a lot...I'll check it out!

I have a 1996 Pathy and it is coming up with a P0141(O2 Sensor B1S2 Heater Problem)...I am assuming this means a bad oxy sensor front/right side...I looked it over and there is a heat shield partially covering it...Has anyone else had to change one of these?...Do you just bend the shield back or does it require removal? Will an oxygen sensor socket work with this?....Any instructions would help greatly...Thanks...Feel free to email at ardavis78@live.com

POOP!!! There's the drivers fender I need!!!

Mine has a lil rust on it...tryin' to figure if it'll be cheaper to fix and paint what I've got or buy a used one and just paint it...thanks a lot!!! ardavis78@live.com

I have a '96 w/ the ol' epileptic tach issue...did they still have this problem in '96?

I seriously hate those rusty corner pieces...grrrr

Thanks a lot for your help...If anyone has more opinions, keep 'em comin'...thanks again

My struts and shocks are shot, so I was looking into a lift. AC has a few different options and I've heard Rancho struts are the way to go over KYB. I work at an auto parts store and in the Rancho catalog, it says the struts offered by AC are for a stock susp. w/ no lift. I only go off road and play occasionally. Why can't I just buy stock Monroe struts for the front and longer travel Ranchos for the rear? I really don't need a high-performance strut cuz I'm not off road much. Gimme your opinion...I'm open to suggestions. Thanks a lot!!! (I've asked a cpl. of people on here personally, I'd still like their opinions too...thanks again!!!)

I live in NW Ohio and recently took my Pathy to get all of this fun stuff fixed. I had a leaky w/p so they replaced it. Also replaced timing belt, hoses, t-stat, cam and crank seals, belts, etc. It cost me $275.00 w/ tax for labor and $125.00 for parts. I thought that was fair. It took 'em a day...prolly woulda taken me 2.

The 2 prong coolant sensor I changed was on the thermostat housing. 19mm wrench is all you need. Cost bout 20 bucks.

I'll give 'em a try! Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks a lot...keep the ideas coming tho...I need all the ideas i can get.

Thanks for the input! Is this common for them?

I've got a '96 Pathy w/ approx. 125,000 miles on it. My gas mileage never was that great, but I am recently getting about 10 -11 mpg. I just replaced my plugs and air filter(K&N). I thought that would make a big difference because the gap was approx. .080 on the old plugs(new are gapped @ .040) ,but nothing. I know about the oxygenated gas in the winter, but this is awful. My check engine light isn't on and the truck runs very well. Any hints maybe? I even installed manual hubs too. Any little tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
