It is a FWD, it should get really good gas mileage. I named her 'Genie'

Nice Justy ...same year, body style as mine. Is that a factory color? I've never seen that blue before, only the teal blue/green color. Is your O2 sensor connected at the exhaust manifold? This could cause your CEL to illuminate.

:PSo far my 'new' Justy needs rr wheel bearing serviced, full tune-up; oil change, muffler, interior work, and whatever else I find. The color is teal, it looks more blue and has some metallic, definately bright. Hopefully the fuel injection is good, I wonder at what point the injectors need to be looked at. It has a very :Pslight chain noise, but not nearly as load as my black car, which sounds like a truck sometimes.

The screw on the top of the throttle body is set with precision instruments at the factory. I've been told that the only way to achieve the correct screw position is to buy a new throttle body. As far as I know, adjusting the screw isn't going to have any major adverse effects. I would recommend checking and replacing the spark plugs, cap and rotor and air filter. Check the timing and check the air intake tube, looking for tears in the rubber or places that unmonitored air might enter the system. You can test the O2 sensor with a voltmeter. connect the positive wire to the O2 sensor wire and the negative to a ground point on the chassis. While the engine is running the sensor voltage should fluctuate rapidly between .1 and .9 volts. If it stays in one spot for a while, then it's a good indication that the sensor is bad.
