tdvs Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Just had a new cat installed. Want to install a new O2 sensor as suggested in an early post. GM or discount parts store? Quote
slick Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 www.rockauto.com Search this forum for a 5% discount code. Oh, don't buy Bosch. Quote
tdvs Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks Chris, But don't have credit cards anymore for on-line purchases. Also would like to do today if possible. Since discuont parts stores listed on rockauto show Bosch, guess it's GM? Quote
5speedz34 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 What? Bosch isn't GM. I put a Bosch O2 sensor in my car, not that I would do it again but I haven't had any problems. Quote
Crazy K Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks Chris, But don't have credit cards anymore for on-line purchases. Also would like to do today if possible. Since discuont parts stores listed on rockauto show Bosch, guess it's GM? I use my debit card with rockauto. Get ACDELCO only! Quote
Q-Ball Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 So I should return my Bosch O2 sensor and get an AC Delco? I only thought it was plugs that were bad from bosch for our cars. Quote
tdvs Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Posted August 28, 2008 Totally spaced on the debit card - AC Delco thru rockauto sounds like the hot lash. Just an after thought.....Is 50K the normal life span for a catalytic converter? Had some issues repaired B4 final bad cat diagnosis.........Car runs sweet now. Thanks all Tom Quote
digitaloutsider Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Cats shouldn't ever fail. Something else is wrong with the car. Quote
tdvs Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Posted August 29, 2008 I love my '95 CS vert, but that GP is the hot lash!!! WOW!!! Very Nice!!! Initial diagnosis was bad vaccum lines. Found several, one at a time, but with each one repaired, the car would run even worse, till it almost wouldn't run at all. Finally it was diagnosed as bad cat. Had it replaced 1 1/2 months ago. Running perfect since, but replacing O2 sensor this week-end just for good measure. Problem solved? If the car is running fine, or seens to be, how do I know if there's still something wrong? Also, previous owner put it away the last 10-11 winters, but don't think he took any special precautions. Would that have anything to do with anything? Had just come out of winter hibernation when I buoght it 6 months ago. Thanks Tom Quote
