    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    i scanned the car and it appears that the b2s1 o2 sensor is dead. it was a straight line in the chart. do the v6's have 2 o2 sensors? one for each bank like the v8's.

    the bank 1 sensor 1 is a pain to get to. it looks like i have to drop the exhaust and maybe take off the header. wow that sucks

    taking the exhaust off and broke both bolts on the driver side that connect the exhaust to the manifolds. that sucks. i cant get them out and i broke off a bolt remover in there. what a f-in day. changed the o2 sensor though. what a horrible design putting an o2 sensor in the hardest spot to reach. damn GM.
