Hi STC!

Thanks for info on how to upload files. I don´t know if my 22MB ps.data file is to big, but i will try. Seldom using flow charts if they are not a must or they contain info that are unknown to me; find them quiet confusing at times. :lol:

Re: 2004 pulsar runs rich

Hi fraserae! Could be bad luck, but probably not, three weeks is fairly short life for the poor O2 sensor... I do not know if a clogged exhaust system could cause this sudden death after so short period of time. May there be, for some reason, an crack somewhere that allow coolant to enter the exhaus...

Re: P1191 Opel Vectra Z22YH engine
