ok here it goes. So i go to my friends so he can help me put my OBX catback and everything was goin fine till my friends dad tries helping us. We took it all off from the Y pipe back and the idiot cuts the wires for the 02 sensor. I dont know why he did it anyways. we tried soldering it but the wire is like weird so i take it to the muffler shop and they put like those telephoen clamps to connect the wires it didnt work. so then i used those female crimp plugs and that didnt work either check engine light is still on and yup its for the 02 sensor. Any Ideas?

 

New o2 sensor

 

But what about the wiring? When u get an 02 sensor does it come with new wires?

 

It may, but if it doesn't --- the soldering skills are gona come into play.


What do you mean "the wire is like wierd"??

 

yeah the new o2 comes with wiring.

 

Its like thick so the solder doesnt stick and its even hard to twist them i dont know how to explaint it. its not like your regular speaker, power, ground wire. Its also now like any wire i have seen. The solder wouldnt even stick to it

 

thanx for the help then if your sure it comes with wiring Im going to have to get one

 

the wire probably is not copper. I is probably an alloy of some sort. This means that your regular soldering skills would not apply. Try using "flux" when you solder. you can get it at radio shack. also try taking some sand paper and ruffing up the wires. this will give the solder a little something extra to stick to.

 

..sounds like your friends dad deserves a kick in the nutz...

 

Your o2 sensor should definitely have the wires with it.

 

Kewl thanx New 02 here i come

 

i hope ur making them pay for it

cuz thats bullsh!t
the dad probabl came in thinking he new everything and jsut messed up your car

i would ahve been really ****ed

-J

 

why the hell did he cut that wire in the first place? must've done it while you weren't looking...

 

You may just have to reset the SES light. The connection to the O2 sensor may be okay, but the ECU still has the code in memory.

 

why did you have to cut the o2 sensor to put in the catback? i have a obx catback and there isnt a o2 sensor there

 

He didn't....his friends dad did....

At the very least he SHOULD go halvzees....if not wholezees...

lesson learned: too many chefs RUIN the Max!!!.....

 

have his dad pay for it!!!

 

What an dumbazz that he cut the wire....Is he a moron or what..obiviously no mechanic skills when it comes to cars.

 

BTW, I think autozone sells o2 sensors at half the price of a nissan dealership, according to what i read on a previous post.

 

yea i am going to make hjim pay for it BTW how do u reset the ECU?

 

Disconect battery neg - overnight works for me and free

 

Koo imma do it tonight thanx

 

no clue why that just made me crack up.....coudln't have said it better..
