[1995gstr]

Um did you already replace the 02 sensor?

 

[joshua_082]

no i did not.. i was not sure if that would fix it or not... i dont understand why the boost gage would stop workin

 

[morelock]

why did you cut your 02??

 

[joshua_082]

well i cut it cause i was goin to get a new one and now it is run really bad and didnt want to buy a new one if it not goin to fix it... and the stock boost gauge stopped workin at the same time... i cut the o2 sensor well it was runn..

First: You dont just cut your o2. You can simply replace it without cutting anything. And cutting wires alike that is a good way to cause a short.

Second: Fallow the site rules and use proper grammar and punctuation.

And third: Replace that o2 and that should fix the problem

 

[colbyc]

Man please use proper English/grammar. First off replace the o2 sensor you cut, how was it running before you decided to cut it? As in what was it doing too make you cut it?

 

[hurricanecris24]

Why would you cut it off when its running fine then you decide you don't wanna replace anymore? Its people like you that do hack jobs on theses cars

 

[joshua_082]

well first off it was already broke off it was just hanging down and my check engine light was on but it still ran good and now that i cut it it just runnin like crap and boost gauge is not workin and the guy that has a shop up the road said to cut it off and that was dumb of me to do that cause now it dont run right at all and it blowin smoke and you can smell the fumes when it is runnin...

 

[colbyc]

Dude replace the o2 sensor, it also has a plug btw assuming its the original one, your mechanic or whoever is retarded. So you're saying the o2 sensor was hanging down?

 

[joshua_082]

ok im goin to order one tommorrow and ya it was broke out of the exhaust and was hittin the ground. Yes i do think it is the stock one.. Should i buy another stock one or advance has a universal on?? Like i siad im new to the car i just got it last friday...

 

[Tyeler18]

Well that was stupid.

First like stated before GRAMMAR and PUNCTUATION.

Secondly "I cut my o2 sensor and now it runs like shit, well it sure can't be the o2 sensor!" Replace the sensor.

 

[colbyc]

It would also help if you stated which o2 sensor you're talking about...I take it rear now.

 

[snowborder714]

Yes, it is the rear that he cut.


joshua_082 - Please use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc. from now on.

Everyone else - Use the report post button instead of taking it upon yourselves to enforce the rules please. That is why we have mods.

Yeah, your check engine light would come on due to something is going wrong with your car. Go to advanced, pep boys, napa, or any other auto store and they will most likely have your o2 sensor in stock. So you can avoid the shipping of the item by ordering it.

Lots of different problems can occur when your not running o2 sensors without a tune for eliminating them.

Spell check next time please,

As for your boost gauge man, after you fix your oxygen sensor, and it still doesn't work. And your car is still not running right, then your going to haveta diagnose further. It could be a mechanic issue, or a electrical issue. (Boost leak, short from cutting the wire, etc.)

I can point you in the direction of putting a aftermarket boost gauge into your car. Its very simple... if you'd like instuctions let me know, ill find the write up for you.

 

[joshua_082]

Yes it was the rear o2 sensor i cut.

Advanced wants 103.oo dollars for one...

Ouch. it's your money. and your time.

 

[brownfinger]

Just get the universal one if you can solder/splice wires. It saves $40.

 

[Tanro]

o2 sensors are not cheap bro.

 

[joshua_082]

How hard is it to hook up a universal o2 sensor??

 

[jaydubb1988]

Its easy..... The universal ones come with some sort of directions to match up wires it takes like 15 minutes from start to finish. And why would you cut the o2 sensor I would have at least googled what they are for before I did that. I think you should sell me your dsm if your going to go around hacking off wires that's are their for a reason. Good luck man and poor car! haha

[joshua_082]

I don't think i could sell it but im sure the right prices i would sell it to you....

 

[joshua_082]

Do you guys think i might have burn my ecu up when i cut the o2 sensor??

 

[Absit]

In the words of SpawnedX, the forum won't let me post just "no", so:

No.

Caveat - Because someone may say it, if the wires were energized and you shorted them and somehow the moons (we'd have to get another one) aligned..
