Re: Oil not registering on dipstick? Nubira '99 wagon

So what was causing the knock sound? make 100% you failed to see the new fresh oil on the dipstick. if it took a long time to flow down the crankcase there is something wrong. oil should be down there as soon as you pour it in. may be 1 or 2 secs and that to me is too long. you can use Marvel Myster...

Re: 2000 Leganza timing belt issues

there is no way of telling. until you get the head removed you will not know for sure regardless of how good an engine might be.

Re: Nubira driver's side headlamp keeps fogging up

what rubber gasket seal? I'm lost. not that I have looked at it. but AFAIK the only thing sealing a H.L housing is the seal itself between the lens and the housing and the O ring for the light bulb. I would check the light bulb O ring or if there is any small cracks on the housing/lens. from What yo...

Anyone using Aveo Parts?

I got a HG for my Lanos now the Valve Lifters are shut.

Has anyone used Aveo Lifters yet.

I'm 99% sold on buying Aveo lifters. they are only $10 cheaper but given that the L91 engine is the redesigned A16, I am leaning toward those. IDK if they are any better though

any reason why not?

Re: O2 Hack

IDK how you get to the conclusion that you don't need a O2 sensor, unless you have a carburator, chipped ecu or a stand alone ecu, if you are using a tuned ecu the software used can deactivate the O2 and no cel light. now if you are using a regular ecu with few mods, be warned that the O2 is what te...

Re: Lanos Catalytic Converters - Which to Replace?

if you can separate each from the other all you need to do is to point one end towards the sun and try looking through the center(if possible) you should see a bright spot in the area you are looking through. if there is a bent in the pipe and you can not see straight through you need to visit a loc...

p0134 is for upstream O2 sensor, the one before the cat conv. check the plug, release it and plug it back on, clear the code and restart the car.
