Oxygen sensor light came on at 90,000
Do I just need to replace the O2 sensor or is it something I need to take to service? Was driving back to Sterling today from the Second Creek DE (Cant wait to try it myself). Light just came on. Still runs the same, starts the same, etc. . . .
90,256 on My 81 SC I bought in November with 85,000. |

If you pull the speedo or tach there is a white button that will reset the O2 light. The light comes on at a 30,000 mi setting, I belive. Push the button, reset the light and drive!!

So where is this "White reset Button"??
Finally got the speedo off and was able to pull the bulb out of the O2 sensor but no white button to be found. |

Hey bagpiper, nice meeting you yesterday. You really should try the track experience at least once, but be warned: it's severely addicting. It has completely transformed my view of the car and what I intend to use it for. I'm cartwheeling out of control down the "slippery slope" that everyone talks about.
Regarding the O2 sensor, my '86 owner's manual says the sensor should be replaced every 60k miles. I'm guessing yours does too. I bought my car last year with 95k on the clock but it had never been replaced and the light was not on. I replaced it anyway. |

Dave, Nice talking with you this weekend as well. After seeing the DE in Person the bug has already hit! Will be getting new brake pads installed next month. I dont think I need anything else to be track ready, except maybe a new set of tires as I dont know how old the P-6000 tires were when I bought it.
I sill be up Elk hunting during the October DE but by spring I WILL be signing up for some track time. On the way home to Sterling on Sunday I was going up 76 at about 80 when I see a big box in the middle of my lane! Needless to say I didn't know what was in it so I did a nice swerve about half way into the right shoulder and back on the road. My 14 year old Daughter was wide eyed and all I said was Who's your daddy!! Nice adrenaline jolt and cant wait to track it. Thanks
