    Question VN Donk

    Surely someone out there can help me.
    With the price of fuel these days I can't afford to be running on what seems like one and a half cylinders.

    Help please !

    The old V6 is running very rough. According to the diagnostic the error codes are 13, 14 & 45. I'm having trouble actually locating the sensors to check them, can anyone help?

    Thanks.

    13 Oxygen sensor output remained at .35-.55 volts for more than one
    minute after warmup. Possible open circuit.
    14 Coolant sensor indicated a temperature above 130C for 3 seconds
    after engine ran for 20 seconds. Probably a short
    45 O2 sensor showed > 0.550 volt for over 50 seconds while in
    closed loop with engine running over 1 minute and throttle open
    more than 2%

    O2/Oxygen Sensor is located on the passenger side exhaust manifold.

    Coolant temp sensor is located at back of intake manifold, on Drivers side. Its the 2 wire one
    Power is measured in DECIBEL

    Yeah, go out and buy those 2 sensors, looking at about $60-$80 for oxy sensor (check how many wires yours has now to get the right one) and cant remember price of Coolant sensor, have to remove the alternator to get to it. After that, she should run better

    yeh having those sensors inop will make engine run a rich mixture, hence the poor economy and isnt good for the engine's performance. replace them
