Ok..well I just put a dc header on my car...before this...with the stock manifold...I did not have my o2 plugged in...now..with the new header..I had a spot made for it and am using it now...made my engine light go out...buuuut...now from like 2-4 thousand rpms....the car hesitates to pick up speed...like something is holding it back.....a friend of mine..said that this happened to someone he knows....when they finally got their o2 hooked up...other than that...runs and picks up speed great past that point in the rpms.....has this happened to anyone else? Ill probably just unplug it and see if that helps...but why would the o2 sensor cause this?

 

yes im having the same problems and my o2 just went bad like 2 weeks ago!!! So yes i believe the o2 can do this

 

yep.

 

hmmm....alright...i guess it was bad when i got it.....anyone have a good one for sale? thanks for the replies

 

My B16a does this and so have my friends. Splicing the 2 O2's into one and having the ecu chipped for one 02 has solved the problem for some.

 

dont buy used buy new... fix the problem the first time so you dont have to do it a second time.

 

yeah...i just found some ngk ones....78bucks!!!
