asuming the vehicle has a 4 cylinder, the exhaust manifold would be facing the radiator. 6 cyl. would also have one facing the firewall. You can figure it out simply by tracing your exhaust system from back to front. tail pipe - muffler - exhaust pipe - catalytic converter - exhaust pipe - exhaust manifold - engine.
Are you trying to remove the exhaust manifold,the muffler,or just the line running from the manifold connection to the muffler?
They are typically on the exhaust manifold.
After the exhaust manifold but before the catalytic converter on the exhaust tube.
THERE IS NO HOSE, THE WATER PUMP IS FED BY A METAL COOLANT PIPE LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE LOWER RADIATOR HOSE CONNECTS TO THE PIPE.
The catalytic converter will be underneath the car in the exhaust system directly after the pipe that connects the header (exhaust manifold (connects engine to the rest of the exhaust)) to the Cat (catalytic converter). there will also be a resonator that is closer to the muffler end of the exhaust. The cat has an O2 sensor in it so you'll know if you get the right one.
Follow the intake manifold. Sometimes, there are oxygen sensors on the exhaust under the car.
It's the thing with the wire coming out of it that's sticking out the front of your exhaust manifold.
The gasket is between the head and the manifold and simply remove the bolts and replace the gasket after cleaning it real good.
2. one in the rear exhaust manifold, the other in the middle of the catalytic converter.
LX or LX-i? If you have an actual LX with a carb, you don't have an O2 sensor. If you have a fuel-injected LX-i, it's screwed into the front of the exhaust manifold. You know that thing sticking out of the exhaust manifold with the wire coming out of it? That's it!
No not at all if you are driving this car stop at once and fix it or you will blow the motor eventually
Most probably, you have a valve cover gasket that is bad, and the oil is dripping down onto the exhaust manifold, and is being burned. Replace the valve cover gasket.
