Where in the heck is my oxygen sensor??
Also, there are some wired that are bolted onto my air box right now? I'm putting on a cone for better flow...anybody else ever do this??.....god to i need help!

ok, first that trumpet in the intake tube is the silencer, and you can take it out if you want to.

second, on the 96 there's a lot of oxygen sensors, 4 i think, more than any other year.

third, wires bolted onto your airbox??? never heard of or seen this before.

hope this helps

3.3 is different than 3.5. The tube does not have the same cone deal as a 3.5. Do not know what can be done with the tube.

Hey,
I am having trouble trying to get the intake tube back in place after removing the silencer. How do those little black clamps with the serrated edges tighten back up? All I can seem to do is loosen them with a flathead.

Also, are there any precautions that need to be taken when doing this? I made sure all the pieces of the air silencer were out, but just in having it loose couldn't little pieces of dust get in there? How careful do you have to be?
