Re: cavalier 8v 4x4

Even with new one on it throws the Co potentiometer voltage low code. So gonna look into that think it may be icv causing that. Locking the box so 4x4 hydraulics shouldnt be a problem. The Saab reds were throwing far too much fuel in and flooding the engine but not a problem now standard stuff back ...

Re: c20ne error code 19 and very poor performance

The sensor is definitely correct as I ordered it from the part number on the old one. Interesting to hear about the water thing though as it's been very wet with flash floods recently and I've had to traverse some fairly deep standing water so it's entirely possible that some water has found it's wa...
