Yep, sounds like you need two new O2 sensors. Avoid Bosch brand. Seriously, they're junk.
The trouble with Chilton's is that they combine information on several different sub models of the car into one. It is a poor substitute for the actual factory shop manual, or, second best, AllData, which you can either subscribe to for a year's subscription for about $30, or sometimes get for free at your local public library. Your car came with a choice of two different engines, a 3.3L and a 3.5L. The 3.5L had up and down-stream sensors. I am not sure about the 3.3L; I didn't have one of those. I would not be at all surprised if Chilton's is just plain *wrong* about that. By the way, Haynes isn't any better. By the way, AllData is owned at least in part by Autozone, and the repair info you can get from their website for free comes from Alldata. It's not the full set of info, but it might be worth a look. --Geoff On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 4:28 PM, doobletango <[email protected]> wrote: > I tested the o2 sensors and here's what I found... > The RH sensor stayed mid range-.30-.60 tho it occasionally hit .7 > VDC.
