What are those 4 plugs, on the side of the valve cover? I live in California, and my car does not have those plugs. What do they do?

Do you mean the 4 O2 sensors on the front or the hoses on side of the Valve cover ? This is a Cali Speced 99. Hope that answers your questions somehwat.

Engine degreaser from any auto parts store. Just spray it on and hose it off.

Don't they got those lil steam cleaners you can buy and use around the house and junk. You could use that on a car couldn't you?? It runs around like 150 (saw it on HSN or QVC

I used to use Simple Green and it cleans nice, but it has a tendency to etch metal surfaces. Your intake manifold will start to become "ashy looking". I then switched to using Espree Wheel Cleaner (green). It cleans the same a Simple Green, but it doesn't harm the metal surfaces. It actually brightens the metal after cleaning. Just a tip.

What is this!

There is a sensor in that pic that I don't have in my car! What is it for? Please click my link and let me know what it is. Maybe it is another California emissions thing
