you can't solder the 02 wires, they have to be bulleted.

Stainless steel is impossible to solder on supposedly, but it's true and it was tried on my wires before we went with bullets.

if you follow blackbirdvq's instructions, you don't solder into the o2 wires. You soldered it into the harness before the o2 plug, which are color coded and can be soldered

use these instructions posted by blackbirdvq http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ight=simulator

I soldered the wires. Make sure the white wire, after it is soldered to the harness white wire reads somewhere in the 0.3-0.65V range. And don't forget to unplug battery before doing this procedure. many people get high voltage error code because of this.

just a note, the o2 simulator will not solve a heater issue in the o2 sensor. if you are getting a heater code then you can mock the heater function with a 20-40ohm/20 watt resistor.
