Electrical aint it fun!
Once in a while I hear a relay around the glove box dash clicking open & closed sticking some times ..I wonder what that is in the Pk Ave...
Hopefully I wont have anything burning in the near future!

I know it is dumb because the heated O2 puts it into closed loop faster thus better economy but a few years ago I took it in and the smog tech failed it because the 3 wire sensor wasn't stock and the flow master cat I had on it didn't have the proper CARB numbers on it for my year and make. To to get it to pass I had to replace the cat and change the O2 sensor. They are nuts about smog laws here.

Justin Stated: "dont worry about it, just the big brother gps module the govt puts in there"...
Are u are foolin with me? GPS? on a 97? U mean black box data recorder?
Maybe they are tracking me...That car does have an accurate compass...
I have heard it clicking once I shut the car off, and remain inside in acc key mode.
Well I guess they know how often I go to get beer then LOL!
Hey maybe I could park the car at the church across the street, and they would know I'm an angel & wouldn't know that I am really getting 4 cases +++

Art, have you read anything about your airbag computer? It does more than you think...well, 1999 and later, but your 97 still does some snooping.

I am aware of the EDR and understand it is a closed system with minimal recording data on the 97. I just thought it was a good opportunity to get some good laughs in my previous post! Gps in my 97 no. Not without on star, and that is a whole other set of spy parameters.
The more modern cars are surely en eye opener of what it actually stores and can upload warranty type info & Obd codes etc,what ever back to GM.( and who knows if it is only GM that gets it) In the event of a crash the EDR information must be just endless.
Here is an interesting link for 2014 cars: Event Data Recorders
Got any more hot links regarding EDR and the latest news on the spy car networks? Would like to see them.
