Removing O2 sensor J extension bung on FI LTH
so i went to a tuner because my car have this code p0300 for a while now and recently the car is running really bad and misfiring a lot. This p0300 code started when we installed the FI LTH and so i went to the tuner because this is what they recommend to me and now the tuner still cant fix the issue and told me i need to get rid/remove the extension bung or J bung that comes with the headers and have the o2 sensor bolted directly to the pipe. Is this going to be a fix to my car or not?

Isn't there 2 bung locations?
Sensor 1, direct exhaust flow. (This is what the ECU uses for adjustments) Sensor 2, extension bung to defeat CEL. If your tuner doesn't know this, get a different tuner. |
Get another tuner. Seems they are not very good. I see you are in California. I would Sebastian at Specialty Z to tune it.
|
:iagree:
I've only ever heard positive things about Seb at Specialty Z |
the thing is i already paid him $650 i will go back there today and have him look at it again and if he cant still fix it hopefully he can still give me back my money.
|
You're risking damage to your precious Z every time you let that tuner touch it. Request a refund (good luck) or just cut your losses and move on would be my recommendation.

Ok so it turns out to be a bad front O2 sensor and now i need a new one. I dont know which one to buy the upstream or downstream o2 sensor? And what brand is a good one with a good price and where to buy them? Thanks in advance

They can be damaged if you used impact wrenches to remove bolts,etc..when removing/installing lth's |
Also,i thought a po300 was random cylinder mis-fire?
|
Bosch is pretty durable...but other people make them/a bit pricey for the up-stream(front) one's.....usually the rear's are turned off during a tune-to prevent a cel

Upstream is in the header & not the J pipe bung Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
What do you think about the brand NTK or Denso?

NTK is NGK's brand...haven't had to replace any yet @ 77,500mi. just don't us impact wrenches on exhaust & be sure exterior of sensor's are clean...around wiring. |
Which sensor is bank 2?

I'm going to bed,,,maybe one of the "Senior's" will jump in & contribute on possibilities.
Nite :) |
If the primary O2 sensor is bad you're going to get more than just a P0300.

What happens alot of times when removing and installing O2 sensors. They don't like being abused. On the rear O2 sensors where you have to extend the wires. You have to solder the wires together. If you just twist together and shrink wrap the connection. It will fail in time. As for getting a new O2 sensor, stay with the OEM.
I would get another tuner. This guy is full of crap. You DO NOT need to move the J-pipe. I've had the FI LTH's since when they first came out. I've had no issues with them yet. If I did. Everyone would know it. |
Anybody had bought parts from rockauto.com?
|
Need help on how to replace o2 sensor. Any video tutorials on how to replace them? Thanks in advance
