I have no power going to #8 fuse, none of course coming out. On the internet all diagrams show location of #8 fuse is were # 13 is. Here is how I found this, I have two codes check engine light on, po156 and po161, pulled both rear sensors and both are wet with fuel and both have 12 volts to them with ignition switch on. I was told to check fuses and found no voltage to #8. When you crank the car up sometimes it will miss and then smooth out and other times it idles and runs find, never misses driving. Really need help here. Thanks so much, Ronnie S.

We list fuse 8 for ABS and fuse 13 as not used. Your codes go to a fuel problem so check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. also check for a vacuum leak and stuff listed in picture.

Thanks for the info; I made a mistake on the fuse box issue, the fuse cover is damaged and the # 13 liked like a #8, thanks again, will keep forum informed of progress.

Just to add to this one the number one fix is a bad o2 sensor you can make sure your getting power and ground to o2 sensor heater circuit and make sure the heater circuit on the o2 sensor has like 2 ohms or less across the heater element. That will tell you what's going on.
