Thread: Damn sensors!!!

My gtp have a few problems with sensors, my mecanician come to show me the list of problems with sensors:i have to change the gr valve sensor the last time i took the car, his sound like was a tractor and the check engine was flashing, (110-120$used)it does missfire.secondly the heat circuit sensor(80-90$)(oxygen sensor no 2).thirdly the abs and traction control light but no problem with this i support it and finally the second gear is a bit longer to shift(loosing a bit of performance)(another thing in link with a sensor) ill support it, but in a couple of weeks or months the engine will stick in the second gear and a will have to change it and damn IT cost money!!!

Did i am alone to have these few problems??

abs and trac light is a wheel speed sensor. you have to find out which one it is and change the entire hub. what do you mean you support it?...

Well yes, as a car gets old, sensros will go bad. They do not last forever...

Ask him to clean your EGR first. It may just need that. Many are replaced and just need to be cleaned. Yes they can be cleaned, I have done it for years.

Try this first as they are not cheap to buy.
