WHAT IS THE HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR BANK 1 SENSOR? WHERE IS THE SENSOR HEATER? CAN i FIX IT MYSELF? ALSO,,, EGR SYSTEM FAULT,,,WHERE IS THE PRESSURE SENSOR? CAN i fix it myself?

Oxygen sensor bank 1 is the first sensor in the exhaust system. It should be located between the exhaust manifold under the hood and the catalytic converter. The one after the catalytic converter is the bank 2 sensor. The sensor heater is located in the sensor itself...it can only be replaced as a whole. You should be able to change this yourself with the correct size wrench... just unplug sensor, loosen and remove. Replace with new sensor the same as removed. This could be causing the egr system fault as well.

How to change a water pump on a 1999 Buick Century 3100?

the water pump on the 3.1 isnt to hard to change ...
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Partially drain the cooling system into a suitable container.
  3. Remove the drive belt guard.
  4. Loosen the water pump pulley bolts before removing the drive belt. This should help keep the pulley from turning as the bolts are loosened.

  6. Remove the water pump bolts and separate the pump from the engine front cover.
