where R the pollution controls under my 05 hood?

Post by flywelder »

Can anyone share a link to where I can see what the name is and the location of, all the electronic and pollution control 'things' under the hood and on this engine are located?
I have a 05 Bonneville with 3.8 and no super charger and it is just a Bonneville. no other special designation.

Your car is an SE, then FWIW. It was the "base" package.

Why in particular are you looking for these things? The two biggest are the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and the EVAP (Evaporative Emissions) controls and devices, and it's all interwoven over your engine. If you're having a particular problem, post the Diagnostic Trouble Codes, and we can go from there.

Oh, so I own the base model, good to know.
Ok. I was hoping to learn so that when I open the hood, I would know what I'm looking at, as I know the other items. It is these electronic pollution control items like MAP, and temp sensors. etc.

Ill post only the codes then. and hope that replies come with where the items spoken of in the reply are located under the hood and on the car.

PS; I am getting 27 mpg regularly.
