What is the full purpose of these things? I hear that if they are bad, they can decrease some of the low end torque and decrease gas mileage. Is that true?

 

Dont they read the exaust to see if the engine is running to rich or lean... if too lean it adds fuel and if too rich, decreases?

 

They can cause you a 14.9Sec Quarter in a low 13 car...

Damn, mine on my car are bad, so i'm wondering how much of a power loss I received? Wonder what i'll gain? Wonder if I lost any!! haha... are they a pain in the *** to do?

 

No, thier easy.... thier only hard to change if thier stuck... I think you might have to remove the ALtinator to get to the passengers side one easier... At least I think that's how I got it off... or whas that the spark plugs ... life 100% better after the K-member

 

they measure the air coming out of your exhaust and compensate fuel from the feedback, theyre not used at WOT iirc so something else is wrong with your car

 

no, its the starter that blocks the passenger side one

 

I was thinking starter... but wrote altinator... for some reason...
