Question about moving O2's.

Is it possible to splice 2 plugs into 1 o2 sensor?

I'm going to install a set of headers tomorrow and thought this would be much easier to move just one instead of having to move both sensors behind the mat cat.

Thanks

You have to install them anyway, if you're keeping the main cat why not just do it right?

You don't have to install them you just have to have them electrically connected.

You've stated that you have them hanging or zip tied. Is this how you still have them along with the sim?

Work may force me to postpone the install tomorrow. When ever I do it though I'd like it done clean, I'm not sure I want to leave'em "hanging". While I've read many people are using sims and not getting codes, the people I know personally that use'em are having problems; ecu throwing lean & o2 related codes. While I don't hear of issues when people relocate the sensors.

Thanks for the info.

.
Thats how I still have them, actually they are under the plastic cover on top of the intake manifold, I am sure you can come up with a suitable location for you vs all the time and money it takes to weld in bungs and lengthen the wires.
