Fault Code: Bad O2 Sensor

That guy working on the Prius fuel pump has impressive hand tools! :p That screwdriver is is multi tool! Those Colombian shops put out a load of videos for repairs seldom seen. For a crime infested city (Bogota) they certainly have a great deal of crazy restoration shops. I was there in 2008 trying to buy a ‘63 Porsche with my brother in law. What we got instead was a Meyers Manx dune buggy? He paid $16,000, $1700 shipping charges, $1300 customs fees and $1000 for me. He sold it to an actor in SOCAL for a measly $60 some thousand bucks then he was busted by the IRS the following week.

I have another job Interview in the morning. A rail yard south of Joliet a sub contractor. Maintain and fix thier equipment with Cummins 6.7L inline 6 engines. Tons of Electronics failures and Diesel DPFE issues.
Same stuff used in Bluebird school buses I am very familiar with.
Bad might have to work nights. They have a day shift too. 24/7/365.
Good $31 p/hr no Flat rate.
Good likely no Covid headaches. Tests and Jabs likely none.

Called the Corvette shop they are not sure when they are hiring. Covid 19 jabs I am sure there.
 
I’d have to cut through the steel body under the sear cushion and then the tank and doing it in some way that I can reseal the tank. I don’t have the car up on the lift but somehow I seem to think the tank might be plastic. I like that YouTube mechanic’s special screwdriver. It made quick work of removing the wire connections. Under the car there was 7 tube connections with some sort of unfamiliar connectors holding everything to the tank. I can’t tell (other than the fill tube) which one could be a supply line going to the engine. Wish I had an assembly manual but can’t find one , tried for weeks now.

There has not been Printed service Manuals by GM General Motors since 2001. It's on CD Rom or was for a while.
Probably on a flash card now or dedicated GM Internet website I recall using.
Likely all other manufacturers followed suite same.
Mechanics like me develop a photographic memory.
Like Grumpy knows where to find all his data here instant to make a page answering.
Cellphone is handy taking pictures when I am lazy to remember.
Also for for future record documentation
Got your PM
A very strong possibility Yes.
Could use the work.
Saturday morning I am going to Kewanie IL with a friend to look at a 700R4 2wd Transmission for his 1990 Chevy truck.
He cant afford the $1200 rebuild in parts and labor for his failed 700R4.

Biden wont allow me on a National Airline without a Vaccine Passport.
I also can not take my Smith and Wesson 9mm with me so I would be traveling unarmed.
I am staying Pureblood 100% long with my Boys and Wife.

Only way is to to line up a Twin engine Cesna airplane and a Private Pilot.
No Vaccine passport.
I take my Smith and Wesson with me.
 
Why do you have to have a gun? I got a gun when I held a position in family court and was threatened almost weekly. In the winter it was dark early, a long walk to my car parked on the street in a bad part of town, then yes. Otherwise I don’t put myself in situations that need a gun and I don’t have to worry. I have to wonder why I see some contractors I know carry when 95% of their clients are women and their entire area they work is affluent neighborhoods, when do you need it? When you’re up on a roof all day nailing shingles does it get dangerous up there? Have an argument with a customer over getting paid? Someone gives you the finger when you blow your horn to wake them - the light turned green?
 
We were late to the game about airline transportation. Most of Europe, Asia and the UK implemented proof of vaccination well before us. If you knew anything about the recirculating air on planes and historically how easy those Asian flues spread around the world in the 1990’s. The UK is like the transmission hub of the world and everything spreads like wildfire through them. Since 9/11 planes are packed, you want to share air with everybody some carriers of who knows what!

I miss my old Boss Rez in Joliet.
He was in Charge of all South Chicago Homeland Defense Department.
He carried 24/7/365.
All the guys in the shop approved of.
Every morning Steve said out Loud Gun Check. He would lead pull out his 9mm micro or 4 inch and rack one in the chamber.
Take the Shooters stance draw and aim.
Rez would watch and Nod his head in approval.
Jr. Always carried his ACP 45.
Huge Gun
Draw his out.
Tell us where he walked into last night concealed carry scanning for Criminals to take out 1st.
 
Why Have Guns myself?
It's my 2nd Amendment Right to own.
Self defense.
Protect my family, friends, INNOCENT being threated harmed.
Protection for myself.

Doomsday 2021 a Gun is a must have .
 
I hate to tell you, there’s no such thing as “Doomsday 2021” and your old boss sounds like he was a few sandwiches short of a picnic! My question is why do you “have to” have a gun. From wake up til bedtime, can’t go anywhere without it even if it means you can’t go on a plane, vacation, or the big thing - be seen without a gun. Sure it’s your right, mine too! I have several, I don’t need to tell anyone, show anyone. There’s no need to protect anyone, I’m not a cop.
If you think there’s danger lurking around every corner that’s just sad. A guy I’ve known for many years had to carry, even in the gym while he worked out on the machines. I know it made him feel big and untouchable. One day he was on the beach in NJ and a woman nearby was changing her clothes under cover of a beach towel. He just had to yell out to her to show him something, even with her husband and kid next to her. Her husband warned this guy to shut up but he kept running his mouth. Someone told the lifeguard and he came over and said “you have to leave” they guy says No! F you! So the lifeguard starts picking up his stuff to escort him off the beach and the guy takes out his gun. The lifeguard tells him the cops are coming you had better leave - so he shoots the Lifeguard. Later he tries to say it was self defense. A year before I told my wife he was heading to do something like this some day - sooner than later.
 
If I'm standing upright I have a gun only when I work at the school's I don't carry and missed 2 blm roadblocks by seconds and then I made up my mind if you are protesting whatever and blocking a road and me you will get a very good look at an F 150 it will be the last thing you see and the last thing you hear will be a loud thud!!!
 
i have a autometer digital afr guage i my 66 impala the sensor worked when i had the small block in it
now that i put my big block in it, it does its count down it goes to 14.9 and stays there. so i bought a new gauge and it does the same but stays at 15.1 . any thoughts on this...autometer never answered my question to them

thanks

your autometer digital afr gauge may be ok, the oxygen sensor(s) battery voltage ,or the electrical connections or electrical grounds may be defective
 
I spent more than 6 hours yesterday reading all the readers fitting what I need. Bet you don’t know there’s more than 20 brands and over 80 types.

I want one that doesn’t need charging.
Can turn off engine light
Erases codes
Can use it for multiple vehicles and store multiple cars
Supports most popular Domestic, Asian European and UK cars
Reads ABS, TCM, SRS, emissions, charging system, TPMS
Both display read and Bluetooth
Supports Diesel and hybrid
Free upgrades
Free support (at least during warranty period)
And under $500

When I came close to these features it turns out there’s a compromise elsewhere. The reader about had most everything I wanted.

There is a local airport with a Concrete Paved Runway 3 miles long.
Donald Trump could land Airforce 1 on it.
Take off on it.
I know all the Aviation mechanics there by names.
They used to let me pull up on the Airstrip with my 1970-1/2 Trans Am RAIV 4-SPEED Fuel it up myself.
Then give inside and pay.

Non Negotiable today.
I take my guns with me and Ammo.

Grumpy was on my case back in 2011 to get Armed . So I am today.

If I Was not driving my 1973 Lincoln Mark IV 460 V8 Lincoln Continental, the 1970 Trans Am RAIV, 1963 Grand Prix, or 87 Corvette Convertible anything not a V8 when I knocked his door he would Say Out Loud I have Smith and Wesson 44 Magnum pointed at you right now.
It will punch right through this still door and blow a hole clean through you...If You want to not die ........
