Mine was doing this same thing. It was the catalytic converter. It was about 250 for the part and 70 for labor. Runs great now and better gas miles!
The O2 senors will be in the exhaust system. They may be in the exhaust manifold all the way to the convertor. You can locate them easily. They will be the only thing in the pipe or manifold that have wires attached to them.
the 2000 Grand Prix GT 3.8 liter engine has 2 sensors. 1 is at the center of the engine compartment on the rear exhaust manifold. the 2nd one is right in front of the catalytic convertor.
yes if the leak is before oxygen sensors or catalic convertor. you can bring your vehical to any parts store to have the check engine light checked
The Northstar engine uses two O2 sensors. Sensor 1 is located on a bung in the exhaust after the manifold, but before the catalytic convertor. Sensor 2 is located after the catalytic convertor. It's that simple.
It or they are either screwed into the exhaust manifold(s) or exhaust pipe. The 1991 and 1992 4.0 L OHV engines have 1 oxygen sensor The 1993, 1994, and 1995 4.0 L OHV engines have 2 oxygen sensors The 1996 and newer 4.0 L OHV engines have 3 oxygen sensors The 1997 and newer 4.0 L SOHC engines have 4 oxygen sensors The oxygen sensors installed "upstream" before the catalytic convertor(s) are used for engine management The oxygen sensors installed "downstream" after the catalytic convertor(s) are called catalyst monitors and monitor the efficiency of the catalytic convertor(s)
There are sensors all over the engine and transmission. There are also sensors at the wheel bearings and in the exhaust.There are sensors all over the engine and transmission. There are also sensors at the wheel bearings and in the exhaust.
The O2 sensors are screwed into the exhaust system. Follow the exhaust backward from the engine and you will find the sensors.
all o2 sensors are on the exhaust manifold pipe.That is the exhaust pipe from your engine.
Single exhaust? Look before and after the converter. O2 sensors measure oxygen content before and after flow through the converter.answerThe oxygen sensor is a spark plug shaped device that is screwed into the exhaust manifold. Answer:There is one sensor located before the cat convertor. It will be a 3 wire sensor.
There are many sensors on the Catera. The exhaust has two on each exhaust pipe. There are many more in other parts of the engine.
In the exhaust on the back side of the engine.In the exhaust on the back side of the engine.
On the 3.0 L and 4.0 L there are 2 oxygen sensors at the front and 1 oxygen sensor (which monitors your catalytic convertor efficiency) at the back after the exhaust gasses have passed through the convertor. On the four cylinder engine - 1 oxygen sensor at the front - 1 oxygen sensor at the back (downstream of catalytic convertor - monitors catalytic convertor efficiency) Helpfull
