Same thing happened to me. I ended up using a Dremel to make a cut through on either side and pulled the pieces out. The hard part was not letting any pieces fall into the flywheel bellhousing or cutting into the block. There is an inspection cover underneath to check the bellhousing for any...

Thanks for the post. Did you end up getting any pieces into the bellhousing? I might flush it out to be on the safe side.

Correct, bolts are out. There are some remains of the aluminum from the starter on the face of the block, but nothing enough to grab and pull out, 95% of whats left is in the hole. I've been using a pneumatic chisel but haven't had much luck. I'll send pics for clarity after the weekend, I...

Has this happened to anyone? I've followed the OPs instructions and they worked great, up until removal of the starter. When I tried to pull the starter out, it was frozen in the block. The PO didn't put never-seize around the shroud. I tried liquid wrench buy to no avail. Finally I got a pry...

Update: the problem has been fixed. I traced the short in the circuit from the fuse box back to E4 splice point then disconnected the IN1 connector and the short went away. So that led me to the circuit from the o2 sensor to the E4 splice. I went to unraveling the mess of wires at E4, in...

Update. Windshield has been replaced. CEL was still throwing code for o2. Couldn't find the issue so I left it as is and ran it for a couple weeks. That is until last Saturday when I was planning on taking it on a trip and it broke down. Everything just shut off on the highway. I pulled over...

I'm sourcing some longer leads for the multimeter to test the resistance from the harness to the ECU connector, that was my final step before replacing the wire. Also, thanks for the 2000 wiring diagram

Thanks for this. I'll clear the code again and try this.

Yeah, last week, you know it?

Thanks, I'll check for vacuum leaks, I'll also smoke the exhaust, although did a quick audio/visual check and nothing out of the ordinary. PO said they replaced exhaust manifolds. Might check there first.

Hi all, Backstory: I recently purchased a 2000 with ~200k mileage here in New England. Windshield leaks (getting replaced this week, bad install), CEL on and throwing P0135 (Bank 1 Sensor 1 O2) But other than that, minimal rust on frame and beautiful body (was garaged most it's life) I...
