sensor(s)? I didn't see one at all near the CAT. The SES light came on tonight and the fans kicked in. I parked and went in the store. Came out started it up and drove for a bit and no SES light.

Before the SES light came on, I was going slow over some speed bumps. When I took my foot off the gas to idle, it felt like the engine had died, but it didn't. No sputtering.

I'm trying to find a reasonably priced OBD1 scanner with an OBDII connector but it's $300.00 here. It does both I and II but I don't want to spend that.

02 sensors are towards the engine from the cat. passenger side should be in the exhaust pipe up by the exhaust manifold, driver side is lower and easier to get to. dont remeber if the 95 has an after cat 02 sensor.

here are a couple things to look at. https://camaroforums.com/forum/compu...-95-lt1-77363/

lol that's $98.00 CAD plus $36.00 CAD to ship it. Add another $40.00 for duty charges. That great deal just turned into $175.00 CAD. I can buy a OBDI only scanner here for $150.00 which is ridiculously priced.

Well, so far so good. No SES light, car is running good. The plugs and wires on the drivers side were in bad shape and after replacing them, the car is much better.

Well, bad news. Today the weather was hot out. After driving the car for awhile, getting stuck in traffic lol. The car was sputtering a little and it was sluggish on the throttle again. It didn't feel like it was going to stall at least. No SES light came on. So now I'm confused. I thought fuel pressure, but I don't think that would change between the car being hot or cold. The only thing I didn't change regarding air was the O2 sensor on the driver's side.
