Would the scanner show that?

IIRC, they show them in either front or rear bank codes.

The settings in the scanner are generally, bank 1 and bank 2, as well as sensor 1 and sensor 2. Our cars have bank 1 only, then sensor 1 for the O2 before the cat, and sensor 2 for the one behind the cat.

We changed the Spark Plugs and Wires today ran pretty smooth we will see tommorow on the cold start. We will be doing the dex coolant exchange in his car tommorow. But I have alot bigger problems with my 95. First my trans lines to the Acc cooler were leaking so I changed those out. Next found that my leaking of coolant was actually a hugh crack in the radiator on the right side if your facing it. Next we seafoamed it, smoke everywhere BUT smoke also in the engine bay there is a exhaust leak somewhere in the front, also it was leaking from the ERG very slightly.

So now I am going to search a little bit to find out exactly how to flush the coolant out of his bonny. Any one wanna help?

By the way I figure I would need at least 6g'* to just get the car presentable and running right. It runs great now but there alot of things that needs to be replaced and such. Whats that mean? I need a freaking car!!! I am not going to drive the 95 with a coolant leak that bad and exhaust leaks, gas leak, and such. If I am going to do it right I am going to do it all at one time, and I dont have that much liquid money to do everything I want to do.

The right plugs and wires (thanks Haro) seemed to get rid of RainTrains problems.

His Check engine light went up a couple of days ago for about 2 days checked it out lean in bank 1 its been off since.. So we are going to change the 02 sensor. But Would a bad o2 sensor make the car stall? It happened 3 times in the last 2 days in park.
