16V O2 Sensor
Just had to share a recent experience:
Some talk was done in the last few weeks about the 02
sensor not doing much and not being worth hooking up.
I kinda thought otherwise but didn't want to be
involved. Well since I KNEW mine wasn't functioning
correctly I figured I'd fix it considering I had to
have the car inspected last week. I finally (after a
year) hooked up my 02 sensor correctly by soldering
the wires, heatshrinking them, and massively taping
them. I had originally bought the "ford" sensor from
Potterman and didn't hook it up *right*. Well
surprise surprise now I'm going 350miles on a tank of
gas again instead of 290max. She's also idling
smoother and my ass is telling me she's a little
quicker. So, I guess if your car shows no overall
changes by replacing/removing/fixing your 02 sensor
then you've got problems elsewhere that should be
addressed. Of course, that's just my opinion. :-)
Hooo Hooo HOoooo!
