hey thanks.
and um... i dont wanna be a retard or anything, but where is the o2 sensor and pvc valve located?

PCV VALVE=RED ARROW

the 02 sensor is in the exhaust manifold down far adjacent to the radiator.... and then there's a post cat converter one- (at least on 96) under the car...

thanks for the pic d samurai. so should i replace all the pvc valves or what?
and how do i check the o2 sensor if its bad or not?

there's only one pcv valve, and thats easy to replace..they are cheap too =like 2-5 bucks at local shop...how old is it btw? as far as o2 sensor, there's a way to check it with an ohmeter and checking the voltage and resistance, but i dont have any experience with that...the haynes book describes in detail all of that- as far as replacing it- thats what USUALLY causes the CEL light to come on b/c of failing o2 sensor, its a pain in the ass, that needs professional work- its expensive too-

i have a '96 ROlla, i guess ill have to replace them. but the o2 sensor will have to wait.
and will that have any damage to the engine if i dont get it replace soon?

holy shit thats a clean engine bay!

You can replace the O2 sensor without a pro-technician, but it is definitely a pain in the ass. I cut my hands and wrists up pretty bad wiggling around in the engine compartment. A fowled O2 sensor causes stumbling, poor gas mileage and poor emissions. I suggest you go to Autozone, Checkers or some other auto store and they will read your CEL code for free. This will save you the hassle of replacing parts you don't need to replace.

they'll check my CEL code for free? thats cool. i guess ill do that then.

he used some silver high heat temp paint and paint over it. thats how its clean and shiny.

you gave my secret away! *using Force Choke on HK's little monkey neck!*

LOL d samurai. secret or no secret, i happens to have a loud mouth. LOL

me LOL, no. he used silver high heat paing and painted the heat wrap and wrap it on his headers.
