- Tue Jan 01, 2013 12:10 pm #323070 Ok ok i kinda figured it out first my friend making fun of my car been slow and heavy help because instead of shifting at 23k like i was doing before i now shift at 3k because it gives the car a little more power from start and it force the car less

Second my boy told me about the check engine light and it saying the o2 sensor is bad i got a new one let see if i put it on and maybe that will help too

I fill the tank yesterday let see if the 3k rmp works bybthe end of the tank

imo i would shift around 3,500k -4,500k just to help the car from not having to work real hard pulling everything.

here is some info on the motor.

- Wed Jan 02, 2013 1:10 am #323096 A proper o2 sensor will make a world of difference. I wouldn't even consider driving around with a bad o2, it's horrible for your motor to run that rich. It will ruin a cat over time, too.
