Splicing O2 sensor wires

Actually it's not that bad to complete unplug, unsnap, and rewire the whole thing up. I did it when I removed my y-pipe because I didn't want to splice wires. It will take you 20 extra minutes max once you have the car up.

splicing those wires is quite hard , becouse they are stiff like guitar strings !!!!
learned that when i tried to splice mine.
you could get "butt connectors" and try to crimp them nice anf tight and finally use some electric tape around it.
but warning though - did mine that way and it only lasted 3 weeks , finally bought two new O2 sensors and got it fixed the rifgt way
jerry rig is ok for temporary fix , but do it right the first time

Jack up your car. Pull out the rubber grommet. Unclip the plastic holder and pull out harness. 4-5" latter there will be a plug. Unplug old and in with the new. Put it back and your done. This takes about 5 Minutes.
