02 sensor problems

street591 · January 14th, 2008, 09:49 AM

i got 02 sensor extension for my longtubes and the original sensors fit into the extension but the extension does not fit into the original harness becuase of the clips that help line up the prongs. should i just file off those clips and still have the one main clip work? and the wires look backwards on the bottom (gray and black). will they work fine? also i have a gt x pipe but the sensor holes look like they are too far back. with the MIL eliminators will these still fit or will a need a new sensor with a longer cord? PLEASE HELP

Alot of people have had the same problem. As long as the color wires stay the same....then just cut or file off the clips, and then secure the connection with electrical tape.

well the sockets are still green but where it plugs into the harness it is black and they wires (black and grey) look flipped but do they do that anyway? and any info on the MIL eliminators?

the wires on one side should be a different color than the other. just match up the colors. i think mine were black/gray on one side and green/purple on the other

so they should work then and do know if they original sensors will reack with the MIL even on the gt mid pipe

yes and yes. I remember when i put on my h-pipe i had to shave on the stupid clips to make em work.

but as in length because the V6 driver side is far away from the back hole for the sensor. the MIL and original rear sensor will reach on a gt mid pipe
