[Shotimes] the continuing saga

[Paul L Fisher]

Left or front sensor. How many miles on them? A cylinder balance test
wouldn't affect O2 sensors. As for PCV, I don't believe the SHO has a valve.
It has some wide open hoses way down in the snakes. I'm copying the list so
others can chime in.

Any ideas on the 176 code? Do I need to run the cylinder balance test, or do
I just need to replace my port HEGO? www.alldata.com says something about
the PCV valve causing this sort of thing. How do I check that system?
