Your exhaust manifold is located where the metal cover in the center of the engine bay is. You will most likely see a hand with a cross through it that says do not touch. Most o2 sensors can be cleaned and polished back to good condition, BUT a bad o2 sensor will not really hurt your gas mileage that bad. If the o2 sensor is bad, your check engine light will come on. Also, your car will idle very rough. I suggest cleaning your MAF sensor, throttle body, and you might want to get a CAI kit that mounts to the inside of the drivers side fender. This will allow your engine to pull in a lot cooler air. Cool air = better performance = better gas mileage. |

+4 plugs are meant for larger displacement engines such as 3.8-4.0 v6's. It allows all the fuel in each cylinder to completely burn. This is why +2 was the most efficient plug for my 5sfe. My gas mileage improved greatly after switching from NGK to the bosch plantium +2. Now on other hand, I used to have a Nissan Sentra 2.0 that would run the bosch +2's too hot, and they would turn white with no effort. It would only run good with Autolite plugs. Sometimes, an individual engine can be very picky about what you give it. |

For all of you 5s-fe owners, I've done some comparisons with spark plugs. Bosch Platinum +2 plugs work great on the 5s-fe and give great gas mileage. Also, make sure you perform a coolant flush once a year. If the engine is running at optimal temperature, you will get better gas mileage. Cleaning out the throttle body twice a year also helps gas mileage by removing harmful contaminents within the TB. |

My engine bay is clean because the car really doesn't get driven. It does have 111k, but they are all highway miles. I drive her when I take trips to California. I barely do any city driving with it. The car is in complete factory condition. I will post interior pics soon. Leather, 10-disc cd changer, sunroof, fog lights, leather door inserts, sunroof wind deflector, etched vin number in the windows, security system, etc. I bought it with all the options I could get for it back in 1999. AC blows so cold, it hurts. |

Me and my buddy took a trip to California last week. When I was driving at night, the car was getting about 370 miles on half a tank of gas. I just kept the RPM a little above 2k by driving about 60mph. At 60mph with some cool weather, I can get nearly 700 miles to the tank. I never accelerate hard. The car has had a very easy life. ![]() |

Someone hit my passenger low beam headlight with a shopping cart at the store. Now there is a big crack in the glass, and a little chunk is missing. If anyone has the passenger low beam headlight, please let me know. ![]() |
