What's the dilly with that thing? Every board I have been a member of, has seen its share of people saying "do I need to replace my oxy sensor?" well now it is my turn! hehheh I only think of it because my engine idles like crap, and my gas mileage sucks.
I SAW it when I had my exhaust all apart, it was white, does that mean anything? probably not....and more importantly, WHAT does it DO? on this car? Obviously on a car with computer controlled this and that it would do stuff but on this car? huh? wha?

I replaced my old scuzzy O2 without testing it and saw no difference. I'd run the voltmeter tests on it 1st. And you should test your EBCV thinga ma bob...could explain the lean condition?
"I have a 87 Tercel that was getting pretty crapy gas mileage and ran very rough, it would almost and sometimes would stall out at stop lights. I took it the Toyota dealer and they repaced two valves on the outside of the motor, the VSV and BSC valves. I never knew they existed before that. After that + a tune up and the car ran smooth as the day it was made, and I got back all the gas mileage (around 40 MPG). If you think you need them I still have the bill with the part numbers."
VSV controls your EVAP system...BSC??????

Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.
