ha you should see my maintanence:
Clean TB
Clean MAF
Three step Seafoam procedure
Change Plugs
Change o2s
Change Oil
Replace my hacked up Y-pipe

Im currently trying to track down why my car is running so shitty. Its slow, got horrible throttle response, not enough top end to keep up with a near stock lt1 and it seems to bog when I get on it from a stop

spring maintanence for me:

Step 1: Give truck to Don

Step 2: Pick it up with new motor, turbo, fuel system, and refreshed convertor.

The Vette 02's are suppose to be better but if your throwing codes it can be an exhause leak or a bad ground. The grounds are extremely important! Even putting a 2nd ground from the battery to the car is a good idea.

Dang! I just spent way more than that on a pair. Hopefully I won't need another sensor for a while. My **** is switching nicely since I cleaned the grounds and installed new sensors.

If you have not turned the codes off and you are not getting an SES light, they are switching fast enough.

Otherwise....It's best if you can look at a graph plotting voltage vs time, but I can get a decent idea of how fast they are switching by watching on my hand-held scanner.
