the o2 sensor looks brand new, and the PO mentioned that he installed it recently. i did see some of slownugly's other posts that mention how not all o2's are created equal so i will eventually compare the part #s and go from there. i have a feeling it might be difficult getting the correct sensor since the boxes have the same part # but if it looks like an issue, i'll dig into it.

i remembered today that i checked the timing when i first got the car, and that it was substantially retarded. i advanced it as far as it would go but it is still retarded so next on the to do list is accessing the timing belt and advancing it. i'm familiar with 80s toyotas where you could pull the dizzy to advance it a tooth, which is not possible with these cars. which way should i rotate the crank or cam pulleys to advance the timing by one 'tooth?' i guess that term still applies since the timing belt has teeth on it.
