Rewiring O2 Sensor

[vault415]

I can't access the directions to rewire the 2G rear O2 sensor on VFAQ so does anyone have those directions or any ideas? I'm getting piss poor gas milage with my turbo back'd Talon. Thanks!

If you still have the 02 sensor you can wrap it in tin foil and wire it back up, just twisty tie it so it isnt dragging and doesn't fall off. thats what I did and its working great. Or you can find the wires under the drivers seat and wire the 02 sensor up under the seat.

I think the stupid thing is welded right into the exhaust but that's ok, I have a spare floating around somewhere. What will the wires under the seat look like? I don't want to accidentally cut the brake lines or anything (jk)

I wouldn't put the sensor or an inline resistor under the seat. You'll set the carpet on fire. The rewire says take the 2 same color wires (white or black, they are both the same) and wire in a 12 ohm resistor that is rated to handle at least 1amp. then take the other 2 and put both a 1megaohm resisor and a 1 microfarad capacitor in parallel b/w the two. you can try it, it didn't work for me, although it did for others apparently. This however, did work for me http://www.importparts.com/importpa...ade16822727424d361a060f/Product/View/ECG&2D28 as well as using the heater element on the o2 sensor (the simulator doesn't take care of the heater circuit.

Thank you very much! Tonight I'm getting out the soldering iron!
