    strut bar myths

    Hey i just had a test on this stuff today, a bit more in depth though of course :biglaugh: . It was terrible lol. 50 min tests are waaaaaay too short of a time period. Past two class test averages were in the 50's, i'd expect this one to be in the 40's as the majority of the class was still...

    I'm changing my timing belt and this is what I found. What does it indicate?

    super lean at idle

    wrong, WBo2 are very sensitive to temperature and condensation (you only have to worry about temp in stock location). You need to replace it with stock and add a new bung. on a sidenote: there is no stock wb location.

    super lean at idle

    i'd check your stock 02 sensor. your WB might have a simulated NB signal you can use instead of the stocker, try it out, see what happens

    well i just got off the phone with them. They will be upgrading my insurance thanks to a receipt for the recent rebuild, however i don't know how much that will help out. The insurance agent will be coming Friday so we'll see what happens.
