After putting the new O2 sensor in, can I go get it smogged right away or should I drive a full tank to get the computer used to the new sensor?

if my gas cap fails and i still have the OEM one with the lock, and i dont feel like adding more keys to my ring (getting another locking cap), can i get one keyed for my key at the dealer? or should i just swap a new cap for the test and go back to the OEM locking one so no one takes my precious precious 91 octane?

Alright, it ended up being the O2 sensor. After replacing it, it passed very well. Thanks for all the help

Why not just use the OE cap and don't lock it? I have the OE one and never lock mine anyway. Just check the gasket well or borrow a good spare I have here before you test. Oh yeah...did you find that banjo bolt yet? Hint hint, nudge nudge!

Steve- i swear to God, my mission tomorrow is to find a banjo bolt.

i thought i'd get one from ShApE, but he's not parting out yet, so i'm gonna go 5150 until i find it.

i will overnight it from washington DC if i have to.





back on subject- what difference does it make if you dont lock it?

my gas cap is keyed for my ignition/lock key.

i always lock mine. i did get gas stolen out of the '84 once.

thank God they didnt just poke a hole in the gas tank itself or something.
