IAT and mysterious coolant leak update.
Jokes aside, I would seriously advise someone who can't find the IAT, and
instead discovers oxygen sensors threaded into the intake manifold, to acquire a bit more education before doing his own engine repairs.

We tried to help him (see other posts),but sometimes get replies like this :-) "Happy Traveler" > wrote in message ... > Jokes aside, I would seriously advise someone who can't find the IAT, and > instead discovers oxygen sensors threaded into the intake manifold, to > acquire a bit more education before doing his own engine repairs. > > "JohanB" > wrote in message > ... > .... > > >I also have found out that I have > > > heated o2 sensors on the lower intake manifold which was a surprise. > .... > > > > I'am sure it was > > > |

IAT and mysterious coolant leak update.
My message mentioned that I found out I have heated 02 Sensors. How does that reflect the knowledge that is in my head. When I was in school working on engines there was no such item on vehicles. The last vehicle I owned had an o2 sensor on the exhaust pipe only. The heated o2 sensors on the manifold are not to visible on my explorer to one unless you look very carefully. My statement was a discovery statement adding a level of conversation to the post which I hope would prompt discussion. I could understand if I said, "What is a heat o2 sensor. Will it hurt my engine if I take it out? What tools do I need?" Statements like that scare me and would alert me to the ability of someone to work on a vehicle. Anyway in the future if you have something to say about my knowledge then please ask me a question instead of making insulting remarks without having any idea of who you are talking to. You have never met me in person and have no idea of the knowledge in my head. For the record I am a 43 year old Network Administrator by day and rely on the knowledge taught to me in 2 years of High School Auto Mechanics and 3 years of being an automobile mechanic to work on my vehicles on the weekend. I supplement that knowledge by talking to helpful individuals here on this newsgroup like you. This weekend I plan on removing the intake manifold on my explorer. If I had the time and the money I would rebuild the engine. I do know how to do that. Stumble across a "heated o2 sensor" might throw me for a loop as I consider it a needless piece of crap that is required on vehicles today. Everyone has a first time for stumbling across an unknown component on their vehicle. I know you never have because you know everything. Sam Cederas Raleigh, N.C.

IAT and mysterious coolant leak update.
That 'piece of crap' is helping us all breathe cleaner air by shortening the
'open loop' engine operation when warming up. And by the way, just like the older, unheated variety, it belongs in the exhaust, not in the intake. Hope this helps. .... >Stumble across a "heated o2 sensor" might throw me > for a loop as I consider it a needless piece of crap that is required > on vehicles today. |

I have 3 Explorers and I didn't know there were O2 sensors on the intake manifold. I thought they were only on the exhaust but I've not yet had any problems with them. > > My statement was a discovery statement adding a level of conversation > to the post which I hope would prompt discussion. > > I could understand if I said, "What is a heat o2 sensor.

There is no such thing as a Network Administrator--they are fictional creatures like elves, fairies, and Republicans. Windows is constantly telling me to ask my Network Administrator for permission to use my computer but since I don't have a Network Administrator I can't ask him/her. Meanwhile my Network won't work. Windows should simply call it Notwork and be done with it. > > This weekend I plan on removing the intake manifold on my explorer. If > I had the time and the money I would rebuild the engine.

These engines last an awful long time as long as you change the oil once-in-a-while and don't redline it all the time. > > Everyone has a first time for stumbling across an unknown component > on their vehicle.
