Non CA O2 sensor on CA car and ECU.

[Yellow 13]

Im wondering whta the difference is between the Non CA O2 sensor and the CA O2 sensor are.

No one in town has the CA sensor so I decided to give the Non CA sensor a shot.

can anyone chime in whether this is a bad idea or not?

Im wondering because our CA supras have a different emissions system. Even our ECU's are marked for CA cars so Im wondering if the O2 sensor may send a diffent signal to the ECU.

I fired the car up and it idled out of timing and everything sounded fine...Except for the massive cylinder 1 rodknock! :cry:

This one was actually for an N/A.

I hooked up a non CA O2 sensor and everything works fine no codes or anything.

Yeah, my bad. I usually have turbo on the brain. I'd forgotten the sensors are different in mounting and location so the p/n would be different but they all still use the same output signal. It's just your basic Bosch derived zirconium O2 sensor. At least we only have one. Could be worse....we could be OBD II

CA models have two O2 sensors:cry:
