ok so i bought a 92 vigor for 3500 17" chrome rims, MTX 12" subs, cold air intake, muffler. i dont know much about cars... i noticed theres is alot of smoke coming out of the muffler.

im lucky cause i got some mechanic connects and i brang 2 of them over they said i was burning gas and it might be because of the co2 senser.. does this make sence?

he also said he didnt think was anything to do with my oil.

Your description of the problem is very vague so any number of factors could contribute toward producing the symptoms you are describing.

Note: Minor smoke for a high-mileage Vigor, which most are by now, is not completely unheard of, although the problem is more prevelent in the Legend's 3.2L V6 than the Vigor's 2.5L I5. It may be nothing, but it's worth checking out.

Wow, you certainly seem to be having some bad luck. I have installed quite a few audio systems in my day for my own personal applications and for friends of mine as well. I have a Kicker 15" L7 in my Vig, but with the stock deck and radio (I like keeping my Vig stock as much as possible).

Whenever these kinds of problems occur, check the wiring and fuses. Although you said the light was on, some other wires may not be quite connected properly or grounded, causing it not to function fully. Check the fuses as well. You just have to go through every part of your system until you find the source of the problem. Of course, it could be the deck itself that went bad, but it's usually a more simple reason than that.
