1. Ac Delco #12
2. .060
3. though the fender well
4.165432
5. there are 3, One on each pipe coming off of the manifolds and on after the cat. fuel economy goes down and the check engine light comes on.


hope this helps.

1. Or AC/Delco Double Platinum #41-993 factory pre-gapped at .060.
3. This has been discussed many, many times. Please use the 'search' function for '#3 spark plug', etc.

is the check engine light on? it will throw a code if the o2 sensor is bad. may have a clogged cat.

Just to clarify, a '97 will likely have four (4) O2 sensors.

If you do need to replace an O2 sensor, use AC Delco sensors only. In my experience, AC Delco sensors last longer than others. But do diagnose the problem first. It is never a good idea to just throw parts at a problem.
