would it make sense to buy this.. http://www.o2sensorsimulator.com/ since its only about $30, or should i just spring the extra 50 and but a real o2?

Some people have luck "relocating" the sensor in a tube that comes off of the main exhaust. The o2 sensor is just a thermocouple that reads the EGTs to see if the cat is working (ie lowering EGTs).

This is much, much cheaper and easier to do.

+1, get some spark plug non-foulers and call it a day

i was looking at the non fouler but it shows that there is still an o2 sensor and i dont have one anymore. it's either i get a simulator or spend the 80 on a new o2.

why don't you have the rear o2 sensor? mine threw a code when i had a test pipe on, but i put a catco cat on when i put my downpipe in and everything has been perfect since then

Where do you get your info from?

If that were true o2 sensors would be the size of a EGT probe. lol

Sberk06 · 04-22-2007, 05:16 PM

i dont have it because it got cut off in the process of putting the exhaust..

Sberk06 · 04-22-2007, 05:18 PM

unless there is a cheaper way then $30, im probably gonna go with the simulator that way i dont even have to worry about that part of the exhaust anymore with wiring... has anyone heard of any disadvantages of the simulator?

Vince@R/TTuning · 04-22-2007, 05:20 PM

order a 18mm 1x50 spark plug anti fouler drill it out so that u make sure the o2 sensor fits and u should be good...i have done it on prob 50 cars and only had 2 or 3 it not work on

Sberk06 · 04-22-2007, 09:07 PM

i do not have the rear o2 sensor anymore to begin with though. im trying to get around buying a new one unless i have to.

markley02 · 04-23-2007, 07:52 AM

I guess the simulator is your best option. I have never personally had one though so I really cant recommend one.

Sberk06 · 04-24-2007, 01:05 AM

yeahh thats what im tihnking. as long as it keeps the ce light off thats fine.

freebmx444 · 04-29-2007, 10:22 PM

you dont need an o2 sensor or a sim

TalonTsi97 · 04-29-2007, 11:16 PM

Every car is differant but my cel doesnt come on that often and when it does i clear it with my datalogger and it usually doesnt come back on for a while, and even if it does it takes 2 seconds to clear it again.
Decide on what kinda engine management your getting and go that route.
