Which O2 Sensor?
Like others said, it's easiest to replace the sensors together anyway. If you want to be sure though, here's a link to a test procedure for the O2 sensors from the Shotimes site. http://www.shotimes.com/php-bin/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0&sid=87 I...- mtascill

MTX drain plug ?'s
Yep, that's what we're hoping for. The teflon will lube the bolt, hopefully for removal as well as installation. Either way, doing the drain plug is the way to go. It's a little extra work the first time but way better than the alternatives. Best of luck on your project!- mtascill

MTX drain plug ?'s
Fair enough, 17 miles is a long way. My real concern is for the next time you remove the plug, you'll want to go real careful then.- mtascill

MTX drain plug ?'s
I'd go with the brass plug like others have recommended. Won't rust and much less likely to damage the soft aluminum threads you're about to tap into your trans. I've had a 1/8" brass drain plug in my 95 for years now and it's worked great. Just a little teflon tape to seal up and protect...- mtascill

Broken valve cover bolt(Worst)
Has anyone else out there tried the Permatex thread repair product? This is a 2 component mix like JB weld but sets up fast. You put some in the stripped out bolt hole, coat the bolt with a release agent that comes with the kit and then thread it into the soft compound. After a few minutes...- mtascill

Sho Wont Stay Running????????
Actually it's the idle air bypass valve that the other posts are referring to. This is attached to the intake manifold just opposite the throttle body, attached by 2 allen head bolts. It regulates air flow at idle with the throttle closed. One way to diagnose this is to press lightly on the...- mtascill

5 speed manual
Since it's already apart are you planning to replace the clutch and TOB too? When our '95 started to grind and shift hard it turned out to be a bad TOB.- mtascill

Front 60k ques.
Even better, that 6 point impact socket attached to an impact wrench. Shouldn't take more than a couple hits so a small portable compressor or one of those electric impacts should have more to loosen the bolt. Just watch now that you don't round the bolt further! If the bolt is already...- mtascill

I need to close my sunroof ASAP..Its raining. and button is broken
You can close the sunroof with one of those cheap replacement window crank handles (remember when windows manually rolled up -- one of those things). You still have to drop the console and expose the gear in the crank. Spin it shut then throw the handle in the glove box for the next time you...- mtascill
