A single pair of pliers? Pretty sure I would kink the line. I had some big ass vicegrips a wrench and a hammer, it didn't budge. The salt does a number on them up here.

Welp not the 02 sensor. Was probably bad but not what is causing my issue no more 02 code still random misfire code. The guy at auto zone told me to look at the cam sensor.
I changed the plugs and air filter 3 months ago. I've had the car a little over 2 years. The wires were replaced before I bought it I think they look clean and not original. If it was a coil pack would the code come back with a specific cylinder. I was reading the Cam Sensor would cause it to die at times and possibly do funky things with the tach, so I don't think that is it. Wouldn't the cam sensor throw a diff code too? I was trying to find a thread on checking fuel pressure
That's the crank sensor you're thinking of.
cam sensor would toss a code for it, the crank sensor is the one that wont report sometimes. but the the crank sensor makes the car just stall while driving down the road when it feels like, and it will re start only of it feels like it at the moment or not lol.
change the plug wires, that way at least you know when they were changed last. make sure the plug wires are not touching the o2 sensor or the wires to the sensor as well.
good chance you pulled one or 2 of the plug wires apart when you changed the plugs.
and what plugs did you put in the engine?
and just so you know, you can reset the pcm, aka clear the codes (turn off the cel light) by un hooking the battery for 30 minutes, and re connecting it. if you have a problem still it will come back on in a short while.
the autozone person isn't a 3800 guru. You can skip that cam sensor.
What plugs did you use?
Just the regular boches I think. I had it hooked up to a computer they said ICM and I should replace my coil packs.
Autozone said they can test them if I take them off. I pull a plug and look tonight I know they were pre gapped
No bosch's. Change them out for some autolites or ngk
Does the ICM sound right? Should I replace the coil packs? What causes an ICM to go bad? Short in a coil pack?
I drove a car with bad plugs this seems much much worse
Might as well relplace them. It was prolly either running way lean or way rich. For a bit
