Depends on your engine.
If you have the 3800 it is on the TB (the flat sensor closest to the TB opening)
If you have a 3400/3500 it is in the intake tube, that square halfway down.

You forgot a few(for 6th Gens at least)..
Problem: Water shows up on headliner after rain, leaks around A-pillars, and pools on the floor. Caused by plugged-up sunroof drains.
Solution- Unplug drains with compressed air and retest drains.
Or-
Problem: Lights in Instrument Cluster/Radio/HVAC panel burn out with age. Lamps are "non-removable" due to crappy design..
Temporary solutions: Replace whole cluster ($$$$), solder in new light bulbs
Permanent solutions: Solder in LEDs or send cluster into BBEngineering to get LEDs installed.
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of for now..

I would check into the starter if it intermittently has problems starting.
Turn signals, when they don't work press your hazard switch on and off. Could be a problem at that switch.

my car has alot of these problems, just got it today(85 SS), hazard lights work but when i turn blinker on the lights stay solid and dont flash, it was bruning oil on passenger side under the hood (thinks its valve cover gasket), and the only gauges that work are the RPMs and the battery(not sure what the cause of this is)

Can you help me I have a 2003 Monte Carlo, fog lights are dim, message ctr says I have a high beam out which is untrue and my dashboard instrument lights are always on even when the switch is in the off position.
