I'm going to shoot my car with my .45

[killmurder_@hotmail.com (Jerry Carter)]

yes, it very well could be.. hope not though, those things are expensive!
also, as far as I know(which is only my '81's) cis systems don't have an O2
sensor... I think the CIS Lambda does, but I'm pretty sure that CIS-E
does... since I have no knowledge on the Ox sensor, anybody willing to lend
a hand on this one?
