02 sensor problem.

[19TcappaLX]

hey guys i need a little help,just got my DC sport header to bolt on my f22a1 and the 02 sensor is on the down pipe and not the header.what do i need to do.

Make your own extension.

ok is there a DIY on this.

[deevergote]

Cut the wires. Splice on more wire. There's your DIY.

If that's too difficult for you to do without someone holding your hand, then you shouldn't be doing it.

Ordering a header for the F22A1 instead of the F22A6 would have been the better option... They SHOULD make different headers, with the bung in the correct place.

so i got a a6 header didn't know that,got it use with the cat back megaphone DUNK.i'll try to make it work ,thanks.

This is the beginner section and that is a good question. Assuming you didnt know up front that what you purchased (used) was for the A6 and not the A1.....the DYI with extending the wires sounds like a good workaround.

I see you live in NC...if you need some help, holla at me and I will meet up with you and help you firgure it out


Ahhh...and I see you got an Apexi Dunk....they are some nice sounding exhausts man...and a rare item because I believe they are discontinued by Apexi! Good luck with the install and if you need help holla.

hi,

instead of me creating a new thread, i would like to ask how i would be able to know if my O2 sensor is still in good condition or not and if i need to replace it already.

thanks!

you might need a new 02 sensor when CEL come on and then pull the code.

[deevergote]

If it is original, replace it. If you are throwing any oxygen sensor or fuel system error codes, replace it. If your gas mileage is terrible, replace it (it may or may not fix it).

If you are in doubt, replace it.

However, ONLY use an OEM Honda o2 sensor. From Honda. The cheaper aftermarket ones such as Bosch do not work properly for our cars, and will not help you. You'd be better off giving me $60 and sticking with your old sensor. The effect would be the same (except I would have $60, so it would be better than totally throwing it away at Autozone!)

[9tAkord]

If you still need it passord jdm has ready made extention so that you don't have to cut and splice your harness. I think cutting and splicing makes the resistance a little bit higher because of the loss on the splice.

Also, when you do cut and extend the wires, ensure that you keep them neatly together, use shrink tube if possible, and keep them from hitting your exhaust pipe as it will melt them.

hi,

thanks for the tips. my CEL hasn't gone on yet. it's just that the sensor is still original and hasn't been replaced since we got the car. so, i was just wondering if it's stil doing its job.
