Often there aren't any which is why it's such a nasty problem. If you are lucky, it fails completly and you get a check engine light and "limp home mode"/lumpy idle. If you are unlucky, you get a car which gets faster and faster and feels great, right up until the point when it blows up!

Do a search, reams have been written about it, replace it if you have ANY doubts!
