Re: dead car
This morning I finally gave in and tried to start up the car. It ran idle fine for about five minutes. So, I decided to get brave and run it a few blocks up the road to auto zone and get the battery tested and the SES light scanned. The battery showed 12.1v then the machine said bad battery. The scan they have is pretty generic. It doesn't get that specific. The best they could tell me was that it had multiple misfires and the o2 sensor soti something out too.
Monday I can probably drop my car off with a buddy that has the GM scan tool.
So, now that I've got a little more info it still sounds like a new battery is on the list. Car ran fine today, so no permanent damage from the misfires.
I'm hoping the battery pulled the engine down to cause the misfire. And the misfire caused the o2 sensor to go off. How many o2's are on this car? and where? I'm pretty sure I'm on the original.
