Would a bad O2 sensor cause "rough" idle? Mine idles noticably worse than it used to. Not terribly bad, but it does cause a very slight steering wheel vibration. I was chalking it up to plugs. If it were the front or rear 02 wouldn't it pop a CEL?
I cant really detect a mis at idle, but then again I cant detect shiot at idle because of our fuel pump.
Anybody have a part number for the front o2 sensor on gmdirect or rock auto or any other place?

every now and then driving on the highway at a constant throttle in 5th gear probably around 2400rpms, my exhaust will go from its usual sound to a boxer rumble for a short period of time (maybe 30 seconds.)
One time it scared me so bad, I thought the downpipe that matt had just installed, fell off...lol. Thats how different the pronunced sound was.

idk if that lil bit of info will help anybody or not cuz yea its most likely the 02 sensor went bad,, BUT,, all i was sayin by that is that i thought it was a bad sensor or something too, my car sounded like a WRX sometimes, sometimes it ran fine, i was pretty pissed though when i got an e-mail with a pic in it with my valve cover taken off and a damn rocker arm jus chillen there with a bent lash adjuster... so, if it was me, i would take a few minutes to pop off that valve cover... and btw, it never threw codes,,, it sometimes compensated for it and made it all better by itself sometimes

I'm coming up on 10k miles and I'm thinking of doing some sea foam and new plugs just for ***** and giggles. I just got tuned too so I think now is a good time. Anyone know of a how to on how to do sea foam on our cars? I'm assuming it's different than other cars as we have to suck a bit into the intake.

I actually noticed something similar to that the other day while just cruising in 5th or 4th. Anyone know what this could be?

Sea foamed the 3G about a month ago. At around 90,xxx miles. I can tell a difference in how its running now.. but the huge thing is the added MPG. Pretty cool stuff. Smoked the neighborhood out though.

yup, I havent heard it since I posted that post but I remember my exhaust just getting loud all of a sudden while cruising. I remember it was a down pour out too, lol. I pulled over looked under the car to see if I still had the DP mounted, it was. I got soaked for nothing. The noise went a way after I started the car back up.

I used the vacuum line that goes into the top of the intake ..... the one that hooks to the vacuum tank . My car smoked so bad ......it must have had a ton of build up on the intake valves cause it smoked worse than any other car ive ever done ..... and I've done atleast 10 cars.
