Were the wires bare? Could they have shorted out the computer? ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian To: John S. Lagnese ; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 11:09 PM Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] Not Daily driver
I sure did, and they all were broken or getting that way..so I put a brand new O2 sensor on it...same thing...it did cough for a quick second the first time I fired it up after putting on the new sensor...then *nothing* :( just turns over and over. Whats sad is that it was running perfectly before the O2 sensor fell out. "John S.
