Sjackson2 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I drew a crappy pic of the plenum on some cardboard and pushed all the bolts into it in their corresponding places o I could put them back where hey go later as they are different lengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjackson2 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 drivers side o2 sensor replaced. Came out super easy. Took almost no force to remove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjackson2 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 passenger side done. Holy hell this was a pain in the ass!! It took me over an hour to figure out how to get this thing out and I destroyed this flex extension trying to do It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjackson2 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 here’s what I ended up having to do to replace it. When I had the swivel in the middle of the two extensions it was too long and hit the ac line and I couldn’t get it over the sensor. When I put the swivel on the socket itself....it swiveled too much and dropped so I couldn’t get it over the sensor. I ended up wrapping it with several wraps of electrical tape to remove some of the flopiness, but still allow it to flex enough that I could get it over the sensor. It was a huge pain in my ass and my hand is shredded but I got it done!!! The etc sensor was a pain to reach and getting the harness off kind Of sucked, but once it was off I removed the sensor with a 19mm deep socket and it was good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bax03SE Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Nice work! How were the power valve screws before you took them out? Did anything seem loose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No none of them were loose. They didn’t take a ton of torque to remove...but they were in there snug. I do like the extra feeling of security from having them done though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bax03SE Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The power valves are still a job that I need to tackle on mine. I agree that if anything it’s worth the piece of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjackson2 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 its really not a bad job. if i werent doing all the other stuff the power valves themselves would have taken me less than an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGoat Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 The power valves are still a job that I need to tackle on mine. I agree that if anything it’s worth the piece of mind. Mine lived an easy life & then at 106K, while on our way to get a Christmas tree - Game Over. 5 screws missing. Ultimately had to replace the engine. Do it now before you’re immensely sad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
