[Lov'n'Da'Catera]

Okay here's what iv done so far and what i still have to do:


-Changed both electronic water pumps (the one on the pass fender and the one at the top of the driver side rad)

-Changed the water temp sensor at the back of the block and in the coolent jug (ohh and for everyones infromation i read up a few post about having to change the intire coolent jug, well it may be so if you plan on buying a new one but i went to the local yard and popped two right out of the jugs and replaced mine)

-Replaced my intire power wire from the battery all the way down to the starter and alternator

-Did an engine flush with new oil and a bottle of lucas oil stabilizer

-Cleaned my intire intake system including air sensor, maf, throttle body, valve cover and put in a new air filter

-Did a full coolent flush (question is it better to run normal green antifrezze?) a few ppl have said that GM's coolent (orange stuff) wears out the gaskets.

-Tommrow im doing the air pump that pumps air into my exhaust system (i think mine is shot)

And a couple questions:

I ended up getting two used cats off a catera with low mileage so when we took them off i just unbolted them off the headers and just after the cat.
So i need to know if they take gaskets for when i bolt them to my car?
I called a few places and nobody has anything coming up on there computers for exhaust gaskets.

Also there is this modual/sensor not exactly sure, i think it has something to do with air/vacume. It's located near the passenger strut right beside infront of the evap valve and is secured there by rubber hanger. It has a hose that goes to it coming from the fender and then has a plastic hose that comes off it and goes down toward the alternator well that hose is just hanging there not going to anything.
So what is that modual/sensor? And is that hose suppose to be attached somewhere? If so, where?

Sorry for the 100's of questions but im just trying to get this figured out and i havent yet recived my workshop manual for the car yet that i ordered.

Thanks in advance!
