    can o2 sensor cause bag milage?

    Sometime last year my milage went from ~29mpg to ~24. I've changed the plugs, airfilter, oil, and checked tire pressure...no improvement. driving pattern has not changed, and no, not some winter/bad gas problem. I've read that it could be a bad 2o sensor, but i have no check engine light. Any...

    How soon does your clutch start to engage?

    When you start taking your foot off the clutch, how do you feel it starting to engage (e.g. - the car starts slowly moving)? Whatever small amount i let off the clutch, it starts engaging.

    is there a How to on diy alignments?

    Or does an alignment need too specialized of tools (at least more specialized than a ruler!) to do it yourself? I think I need it since I replaced front struts and have experienced cupping since then.

This would leave a wider than stock section of pipe between the muffler and the cat...shouldn't be a problem, right? ps - if anyone wants a cheap cat back exhaust, let...
