O2 Sensor Question

**evil-G-nius** · 08-19-2009, 03:21 AM

So real simple...the O2 sensors....do they just screw in and click in the connectors? I currently have one new one and I dont want it to go in until I have both. Just curious if I could do it in a few minutes....plug and play, or should I take it in. Thanx

I just did both of mine depends if u get the universal should take u about 20 min if u get the OEM plug and play it take 2 min for the front and 5 to 10 min under the car make sure u put anti-seize on the threads of the o2 sensors

Be very carful becasue they like to rust in. Depending on weither they had anti-seize put on the threads is how long it will take you. The front one should be easily accessable. The downstream one is a little more of a pita. Normally where the wire goes up into the car is up under the Driver seat. Now the problem is that the wire clip is inside under the seat and the carpet... I dont belive that it is long enough to pull down, so what you will have to do is very simple. There are 4 bolts holding down your diver seat. You have to take them out and take the seat out... Then from your center console pull the carpet out and peel it back then the clip will be accessable... Good luck. Dont waste your mney with a shop they will charge you 200 to do if. if you have any problems PM me and ill help you out.

well the car has to go into the shop for a ton of other shit and I only have 1 sensor right now....I may have him do it all at once...idk. Thanks though, doesnt sound too bad. I take the seats out all the time! LOL thats a piece of cake so it shouldnt be too rough

actually there no where near ur driver seat more like under driver side dash closer to the gas peddle remove the carpet and u will have complete access to unplug n unboot then go under the remove the o2 install new one and and go back under the dash and plug it in real easy make sure u have liquid wrench will help and i belive 7/8 wrench and slightly tap it with a hammer to get it o2 loose

Well i have a 94 and the wire comes into the car right under the seat by the vents... It might be different for the 96-98 guys... Thats just where mine is.
