O2 wire harness repair

Is this a common problem on our PPVs after only about 8 years? I've been battling intermittent PO174 and PO151 codes for the past 2 years and 2 different shops just wanted to change out the O2 sensors and tell me I probably have an intake leak. So before I give up and take it to a 3rd shop I bout a ...

Re: Unknown 5 pin flat plug ?

Wow! Old age or just a Brain Fart :) did the DOD deleted a couple years ago and forgot all about that, Thank you. I was so focused on why the insulation on my Bank 2 O2 sensor was missing after 2 other mechanics missed it until I finally jacked the car up myself before I take it to a 3rd shop that w...

Unknown 5 pin flat plug ?

I was troubleshooting the upstream O2 sensor wiring plugs coming from the harnesses. I noticed a flat 5 pin male plug just behind the Drivers side Head that was not connected to anything. We've had the motor out before but hadn't noticed anything plugged into it. Has anyone noticed this plug before ...

Re: PCV or not?

There is rubber plugged nipple on the valley cover just under the throttle body. Not sure why Holden decided not to use this as the dirty side? All I know is I'm getting a bunch of oil on my freshly done cam upgrade now. Any recommendations on catch cans? There's $25 ones on Amazon all the way up to...

Re: Out of state purchase

I had mine shipped from Florida to So. CA. A couple years ago, purchased on Ebay but only paid the dn.payment on their site and the balance thru a bank transfer. Ebay gets a big chunk, around 12 to 21% . I hired the shipper from California, it was about $900 bucks, they placed it in the middle of th...

Re: Oversized Oil filter

Mystery solved! Thank you. And yes I own a couple diesels and have a shelf with dozens of diesel fuel filters. Is it even worth retrofitting a fuel filter for the LS motor?
Thanks

Re: DTC P0106 and P0118 appeared after car been parked for a month ??

The 3 colored wires on my MAP are grey, orange/black (center wire) and a green. I finally ordered a new GM ECT sender along with a new pigtail. I trouble shot all the grounds along with voltage and Ohms, but what I found was the plug/pigtail was broken, we might of bumped it when we were pulling the...

Re: DTC P0106 and P0118 appeared after car been parked for a month ??

Just noticed that the diagram you posted is for our 5 wire MAF sensor , but the MAP is a 3 wire plug. I'm gonna start looking for a compromised ground now, probably to the ECM since that's where it's getting its power from? Unless there might be other grounds going to the block for the Starter. Than...

Re: DTC P0106 and P0118 appeared after car been parked for a month ??

Yes it's a 3 wire. I'm pretty good about rodents, but yes that's a good place to start looking at those grounds. Funny thing when I did start it I smelled something more than just cobwebs burning on the exhaust lol. I looked down to see if I had fried a mouse or rat on the collector tubes of the hea...
