The first thing to check is a dirty EGR valve, next coolant temp sensor, TPS, converter. Bad O2 sensor usually sets code.

SOURCE: Oil Pressure Drops While Driving

your oil pump is either weak or there is sludge i9n the oil pan. my adives is to have the oil pan dropped . chances are sludge is the culprit. as the oil get's warm the pressure should only drop slightly but pressure is generally dictated by engine rpm. pumps are gear driven so if it was a bad pump your oil pressure would start out very low at start up.

SOURCE: 1997 Eagle Talon TSI AWD oil pressure goes from zero to normal and back

Te 1st thing to do is replace the oil pressure guage sending unit, most times that is the problem, if press remains low use a mechanical test guage to verify what the oil pressure is, hook this tester up at the port the sending unit is screwed into.

This could be a number of things but i think that your problem sounds like a vacuum leak or an EGR problem. Try listening for leaks and try un-plugging the EGR solenoid valve one time.

I put a Cal emissions o2 sensor in my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which after the fact I saw it was I fed emissions Jeep. Would I still c signs of bad o2 sensor

The post-cat O2 (emissions) sensor reports the exhaust gas condition to the engine management system and it is the pre-cat O2 sensor that closes the loop in the closed loop emission control system.

If the post-cat O2 sensor is reporting bad emissions it is because the pre-cat sensor might be faulty or the engine management system is failing to control fuelling because, perhaps, the injectors are dribbling, the spray patterns are bad, the fuel pressures are wrong or another sensor is sending incorrect information to the system.
It is also possible the CAT is defective or the exhaust or intake is strangled, etc...

Need the correct number and or location for the PCM fuses and the heated O2 sensors,EGR Vaccum regulator, EVR solenoid, camshaft positionsensor fuses on a2003 focus in the interior and exterior fuse b

To start with, if the check engine light is not on, you probably don't need to check any of the components.
The engine and systems have to get up to operating temp and go thru the closed loop program a few times before the exhaust can be checked.
The printout you have says the engine and exhaust have not been hot enough yet.
The correct process to make the components ready to test is - drive at 55 mph for at least 12 min with no stops or variance in speed. Then 0-35 mph at least 4 times, and make sure you make complete stops each time. This should run the emissions system thru a complete drive cycle.
Some state testing is different so check with your state.

What is a o2 cencer?

An O2 sensor is a sensor that is located in your exhaust system. Depending on the age and engine in your car you could have as few as 1 or as many as 4. It's job is to measure the amount of Oxygen in the exhaust coming from the motor as it runs. This signals the computer to change any number of settings to tune the engine for minimal smog emissions. It is probably the single most critical piece of emissions equipment on your car so it is important to make sure it is in good working order. However, because it is under the car it is exposed to all the grime from the road. The most common problems with it are with the wiring that goes to it. Any time you have an engine code for the O2 sensor, check the wire harness for broken wires, cracked insulation and corrosion first. Hope this helps.

What emissions component has a problem with codes P0456 and P0442 on a 2004 Mazda RX8?

P0456 Is for the EVAP System. Small leak detected, check the seal on your gas cap.

P0422 Is for the Catalytic Convertor efficiency is below threshold. Meaning it isn't doing its job, you may have a bad downstream O2 sensor but more than likely you have a bad Catalytic Convertor.

My service engine light came on and when tested it came up as the heated oxegen sensor.. how important, and what time frame do i have before it is critical?

the heater just gets the oxygen sensor working as soon as possible, the quicker it works, the quicker it controls the engine, so it affects emissions and mileage. You can put it off, but it needs to be fixed.

5.7 litre engine surging

Try to disconnect the battery negative cable, and hold it to the positive post for half a minute. This will reset your computer. Reconnect the cable and start it. It may "hunt" for a while to re-learn. This is normal. Drive it to see if there is a change.To be continued....
