    Icon8 O2 Sensor weird Problem :S

    hi people, i have a little problem whit the o2 sensor, the fact is:
    i put 3 diferents o2 sensor in the G, and no one work :S
    when desconect it, the car runs good (spend a lot of gas, but runs fine) when conect the o2 (anyone of 3) the car misfire when accelerate.

    i think it a little imposible that the 3 sensors make the same fail :S


    what can be? anyone?


    thanks!

    Are you using OEM O2 sensors or aftermarket?

    How long did the OEM sensor last? Did you check the connector?

    if the problem only happens when the sensors are installed, you could be shorting to ground somewhere in the wiring and the sensor is closing the loop from power/reference signal from the pcm to wherever the short is leading to your problem. like mko says, if there is a check engine light on, look at the actual wiring for the problem shown, not just the component that it mentions (o2 sensor) and you may find your problem that way

    yes , the check are on! i need to check the wires?.

    the ecu has relearning procedures. you reset it again and let it idle for 30min to an hour.

    yes. mko is right, if there are check engine codes, work with those first. but if you are only getting codes with the sensor unplugged then obviously there's your code. do the procedure that mko is telling you to relearn idle/tps position and your problem should clear up. it may also take a bit of driving after the hour or so of idling to completely go away though.
