HEy all,

I'm in need of a source for the weather strip along the firewall in the engine bay. It seems that water is getting on to a sensor (o2). When it rains heavily and the car is parked, it will throw a 121 code and gives me poor acceleration from a stand still and a jumpy needle. I can reset the computer and then putt along till the system warms up and it won't throw the code and the car drives fine as long as I stay out of large puddles.

BTW I also plan to use some of that marine shrinktubing with the adhesive/sealant as well. The o2 sensor is the generic with the spliced wiring.

 

Probably a couple of ways to fix it. If you can find the specific part in a local wrecking yard you could take a door or trunk seal and use that. It should be sufficient to fill in the gap.

 

Pretty sure the strip is still available from Volvo also. Or...as mentioned, just go to a jy, pop the hood and carefully remove one.
