O2 Sensor

[Freshy]

So i have the check engine light on and i recently just put in an AEM short ram intake and a new magnaflow cat back exhaust system. replaced the throttle positioning sensor and that doesnt seem to be the problem. my next assumption is a bad O2 sensor. I have been reading and how in the hell can i get to it in the exhaust manifold without cracking the heads of the bolts and having to tap the bastards out. Need help. Need my CB back in good running position

Did you pull any codes? Don't have to assume if it tells you whats wrong.

What running position is it in now? Last?

if i remember correctly it was running 3 something ohms on the old sensor, this sensor is at the recommended level cause i checked it when i bought it. and no i havent pulled the codes because i dont wanna take it down to a shop and i dont have a scanner of my own

Our cars don't need a scanner...... just a paper clip. Look in teh stickys for obd1 codes and how to read them. If you pull out the passenger kick panel, you'll see a blue 2 prong plug. Bridge that with a paper clip or other conductivematerial. The CEL will begin to blink out the trouble codes for whatever issues the ECU is seeing.

aight perfect i will give that a shot then. would a bad O2 sensor possibly help to contribute to an overheating problem? it seems like the car is idling high and and starts to overheat a lil bit

[SilverShadow]

Do as he says....if you get to that connector (kinda near glove box and where he said) Use a good size paper clip and make it into a U shape. stick a end into each hole in socket. Dash should then flash a series of lights like one flash and a pause and then a few in order. And of course you wrote down the #'s from the links everyone here posted. Then follow the code of what it is sensing. Get a manual if you can..BEST money you can spend.

A bad o2 sensor is unlikely to contribute to overheating.

When you replace the o2 sensor, do so with a Denso or NTK unit. Never Bosch. They don't work.

If your over heating i would think it would be your thermostat your radiator your hoses heater core or your water pump....worst case would be your head gasket....oh yah and if you dont have any oil that will make it over heat two....so the o2 censor wont help overheating....

Oh, oh, oh, I wanna post whore too and agree with everyone else. Oh yeah, o2 won't cause overheating, and lower oil will cause overheating. Sorry I fucking hate people who just agree and say the same damn thing that's already been said like fifty times. If you don't have something new to say, or a meaningful contribution, keep your posts to yourself. Sorry deev, not trying to do your job, but a lot of this thread is people agreeing or repeating the same info, and it jst got under my skin...

I'm not gonna sit here and name names, but, you are not included. You provided useful, NEW info, not just saying the same thing somebody else said, other than the o2. I'm talking about people who just repeat the same thing someone else did.
