O2 Sensors, How many and where?
#31
I don't mind working on my Aero. It got much easier to work on once I got rid of that stupid plastic cover over the throttle components. Really opens it up in there. I've never had much trouble, except the first time I did plugs. The second time I replaced the plugs, it was a piece of cake. I had them changed out and everything cleaned up in about 20 minutes. (15 minutes of actual work.) Working on the AC was a bit difficult, as the tubes are difficult to get out of the system.Also had to remove other componenets to get at them. I installed an R-12 elbow on the acumulator chargeing port, and it made it easier to get at. The heater hose has blown several times. It always managed to get loose and find its way to the fan or pulleys. I had to zip tie it to guarantee that it couldn't happen again. Didn't matter how I routed it, it somehow would get loose. Now I need to fix the power steering (not looking forward to that one.)

Thanks I'll check out my Ford CD and see if there are any additional sensors.
As for the throttle cover I removed that plastic piece of crap when I first replaced my plugs and never put it back.
Maybe its because if water falls on on the throttle linkage and freezes while your driving it can freeze the throttle open?
I can't figure out any other reason.

Just changed my O2 sensor over the weekend. I had to go to a DIY shop so I could lift the van and work underneath to get the right grip. A box wrench with a steel bar did the job just fine.
You can get the box wrench on the sensor without cutting the wires. All you have to do is to cut of a little plastic "bridge" that is preventing the box wrench slipping over the round connector. That little plastic part is not really important, you can connect safely the sensor and drive around.
The star is happy now with the new sensor, in the end, it ran like crap.

anyway I chucked that darn cover and never looked back...plus it just doesn't get that cold here.
BTW I don't mind working on mine really...I just think it's funny to b**ch about it
