02 sensor

[87soup]

So i dont have one... I just plugged the hole and my car runs fine but do you think I should get one???

I know... I know; If toyota put it there, its there for a reason... I want more of a answer than that....
What are my advantages on having the O2 sensor on???

 

[CyFi6]

the o2 sensor is one of the major inputs to the computer for getting the correct air/fuel ratio, without it your car is going to be going off other, less accurate inputs, and you will end up with an engine that doesn't run as well as it should. Fuel usage will be affected. This is of course assuming you are talking about a pre-cat sensor. Not to mention a hole in your exhaust is not only loud but can be dangerous and is not legal

 

[p5150]

Assuming that your car is running on the stock ECU, you will get worse mileage without an O2 sensor because your car will run in a safe mode and richen up the AF mixture.

You will be paying more to drive around than if you just quit being a cheap ass and shelled out the money for a O2 sensor.

Just got back from the part stores and no has a three wire o2 sens, and they would have to special order it for 180 bucks..... F that!!!!!

I was poking around and found a three wire from a 94 s10 pick up and was wondering if i could get that then splice my plug onto it....

????:1zhelp:

go to your local toyota dealer, and get the right one. a 2jz sensor will work.

i used a 92 mustang 3-wire sensor, works perfectly.........only thing is, it's m18x1.5 threaded (just like the wideband), so i've been using that with no problems. it's like $30
