I just got the new sensor today in the mail, and tomorrow I have off, so hopefully, I'll get it in. Im crossing my fingers on this one. I need this to work.

Let us know bro!

eastwest2300 01-07-2013 06:33 PM

Will do man, dude, please say a prayer for me.

UPDATE!!!!!!

All right fellas, today is my last day on vacation, I got the new sensor last night in the mail.

So I started about 10am, the bad sensor was already out, I got the passenger side of the car up on jacks, I initially started under the vehicle, using my hand, attempting to put the new sensor in the socket of the exhaust manifold. It wasnt working.

I then went from the engine down. After about 30 minutes of that. I worked it into place to where it was semi tight, I then used the o2 socket to tighten it a little bit further, long story short, I used the socket and a ratchet to lock it into place. (During this entire time, and last night before I went to bed, I prayed and prayed on this)

I got it in there pretty tight, connected the harness. Put the air tube, air box, and brace back into place, I let her run for a good 30 minutes. I then drove her a good 7 miles, I got on it a couple times.

I got home, I connected the OBD2 scanner, I cleared the code, the SES/CEL immediately went off, and DID NOT come back on.

So, do you guys think this is it? The end?

Drive it a coupe more times with a good 30 minute break between them to be sure, but I would bet dollars to donuts you're good.

Impacts and hammers break sensors, that's all there is to it.

Glad you're up and running again, error free!
