Well, after getting tapped on the rear end they had to replece exhaust system. Now it runs rough and the little engine lite is on, indicating emmissions problems.

What could they have done wrong? They're kind of clueless here.

Would the oxygen sensor make it run rough?

Oh yeah, BIG TIME!

The oxygen sensor is a very, very fragile instrument. Even when replacing one with a new one you have to be very careful to not have hit anything upon insertioninto the bung. Lots of experience here!

Yep!

If all they did was the exhaust, sounds like they broke one of the four O2 sensors. You have a pre-cat and post-cat O2 sensor on each side. They are very fragile and generally sensative.

Four?

Well, I told the body guy it was the sensors. So now this hung over Russian is going to be hot roding my SSR down to the dealer.

I can sure tell why insurance is so expensive.

On the bright side, the old pipes had been damaged somewhere. The new ones look much better!

Well at least I have my own SSR to hot rod around.....
And, I bought that matching lipstick too :lol

Doesn't every vehicle come with 4 sensors? We had a terrible time with the x-cab chevy P/U!! I think replace all of them to get the engine light to finally go off!!! What a pain that was. :boxing

He ha. Sounds like they didn't have a clue which was bad, and it was your misfortune that the found the bad one last.

 

[dougnc]

Well, they took it to a Chevy dealer. It turns out the emission light came on and the SSR ran rough because of the clutch. So they've reset it so the light doesn't come on anymore.

Kewl! Too bad you don't own a Redline tho, the red goth chicks like corsets.

But black leather is kewl too! :lol

 

[dougnc]

Well, the Chevy dealer says it's computer code 6513, which is the clutch, like someone left their foot sitting too long on the clutch.

WTF?

Are these computer codes in the Helm manual I just bought?

 

[beer100]

look for DTC codes. They are noted through out the manual. There is also a huge list as I recall.

But then I'd have to open the box! :lol

Thanks, tho!

Let me get this straight...

You want to have your manual stay NEW and read it too!
