yeah i thought that but there isnt any plugs left, and believe me ive checked, many many times because the oil pressure wire would never reach the oil temp sensor, thats how i broke the wire connection off the sensor.

check for a loose ground wire for the temp sensor

my stagea has an extra sensor on the oil cooler/heat exchanger, no wires going to it at all, just a single pin sensor sticking out

Yeah. That's the one. Kinda random. I'm going to make an adapter and use it for an oil temp guage.

Ok so no more leaks, my pcv grommet should be here today and I even got my tyre fixed so no more weekly tyre inflating. :D. 840km in and it all looking good.

I have noticed over the past few days that my car draws a lot of unwanted bogan attention.The latest 2, 1. sitting at the lights and get a kid yell out "do a drift". WTF!!! 2. Sitting at the lights, commodore pulls up beside me, I'm talking to my wife, he pulls some weird faces and does the usual I'm gonna flog this ricer spiel to his passengers, gives a few big revs and sits there waiting for the lights to change. Light goes green, he roars off an I just putter off as I'm in no rush and my pregnant wife is in the car (my car tends to hurt her) I change lanes to turn corner and he just keeps roaring off :/.

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
