O2 Sensor Contamination
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1994 GMC Vandura, 1994 GMC Rally, 1994 GMC Pickup, 1994 Chevrolet Sportvan, and 1994 Chevrolet Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
O2 sensor contamination, caused by silicone in certain fuels or use of improper RTV sealant, may cause a White-powdery coating to cover O2 sensor. The false high signal voltage produced (or low oxygen content sensed) is interpreted by ECM as a rich mixture, causing ECM to set Code 45.
