Actually, it means the computer cannot get the signal it wants from the 02
sensor. It may indeed be a bad sensor, but it can also be a bad EHA, fuel
distributor, or a vacuum leak. Check it all out and fix what's wrong.
Usually it is just a dead 02 sensor, but make sure everything else is OK
Me too. My indy hasn't heard it, so as soon as it warms up around here (it's
supposed to be in the 80s al through next week) the wife is going to run the

Maybe. You can hear this crunchy sound as the suspension loads and unloads -
it's damned loud when it happens. No metal-to-metal, more like a bushing or
something that's chattering or catching when it twists or moves.
