Hey Guys,
I have a few questions about oxygen sensors. First, I have an after market exhaust header on my fuel injected (non-turbo) 2.3 and the sensor is located in a different place so i need a longer than stock sensor. Can I add wire to a new stock sensor and make it work, or will that mess up the reading? Are the sensors heated or do they require the exhaust to heat them? Also, my engine has a problem with bogging down around 1500rpm. Some times it clears up, sometimes i have to turn the engine off and restart it to get it to run. Could a bad oxygen sensor cause the computer to send too much fuel to the engine causing it to bog like that? I replaced the coil that does the main firing, it has a cold air induction kit on it, and the after market header. It's done this ever sense I got the car and had always had this problem. Any ideas???
