I believe you are seeing your Oxygen or 'O2' sensor. It measures the ratio of oxygen in the exhaust and sends the info to your car's computer while you are driving. If the O2 sensor is bad your car can run poorly. It is one of the more important sensors on you car.
I have a Lumina too and most commonly its 3 coil packs
Get a syphon hose
I would recommend it being trouble-shooted. IT may be multiple problem related. It may be a lack of maintenace problem, or a loss of fuel or spark problem, or a transmission problem-torque converter or shift solenoid problem.
if you have a brake shoe on rear brakes, you do not have rear disk brakes pads go on disks.shoes go on drum brakes
it depend on what parts. the 93 luminas are part of the first gen, and the 96 is second gen. some 93 luminas have the same 3.4 L DOHC(207 in
You may have the problem of your intake manifold gaskets. They are a problems on the lumina. I had to have mine replaced due to the same thing. Also check if your coolant is mixing with your oil if it is. Than it is definitally your intake manifold gasket.
Most oxygen sensors are either on the exaust headpipe just after the manifold or on the manifold. I don't know where it is exactly on the Lumina but that is where you should start looking.
In the manifold or the exhaust pipes
Under the front bank exhaust manifold.
take it to a mechanic
The sensor is located in the rear exhaust manifold.
do i need to change the manifold when replacing thermostat
Try cleaning the intake manifold.
Back side of the engine....mounted in the exhaust manifold.
10 ft lbs
its under the air filter box and below the exhoust manifold
yes as long as it is the same size 3.1 or so on and you will have to change the one exhaust manifold i know that for sure because i just put a 96 3.1 liter into a 97 lumina.
