Well... I noticed a slight ordor from my cars vents when in use... kinda smells like rotten eggs ?? I don't know if that'* a sign that the head gasket is leaking coolant in or if it'* the heater core A/C radiator that needs cleaning... any suggestions ??

If it'* the brakes.. excellent... I have to replace them anways... if it'* the AC.. that'* great too..
.. in a way... at least it'* cheaper and I can do it at home then having to replace head gasket...

There is products out there that will get rid of the smell once that blockage is removed.

I don't think the o2 sensor is shot... wouldn't it give an error code if it is ??

2) Don't use Oven Cleaner unless you want to rebuild your AC system! Brake kleen works great for the debris on the evap core & spray 9 works great on the heater box to get rid of the smell. Lysol will work too BTW.
3) If the O2 is shot then a code WILL be set & the CES light WILL come on. The O2 sensor will always throw either a lean code or rich code when failed. The first symptom of a soon to fail O2 sensor is lousy gas milage.
