Hi all

Last week my oxygen sensor plug fell onto the dump pipe of my exhaust. Now i've had to re-wire the 02 sensor (cut it before the plug cause it was absolutely f**ked) And since then ive been getting 0v :P So I'm more than guessing ive hooked it up the wrong way (scan tool to check voltages)

The pic I have attached is of the 3 wires... One of the wires have like, 2 different wires surrounding the central wire.. anyways ill show u the pic.

please let me know ASAP as my fuel consumption is absolutely herrendous.. lol!

Thanks in advance

(ive tried searching to know availe)

does anybody know?

Can I even re-wire them? please help... noob to auto electronics..

EDIT: Ok, ive done a bit more research, it seems there is some sort of shielded ground on one of the wires, what do i do with that?

Also, i noticed that one of the o2 wires is connected to the AAC valve... hmm.. this would cause idle problems im more than guessing...

this is so damn confusing!#%!@#

The light blue wire with the white stripe is the power feed for the heater and light brown wire with white stripe is the heater earth wire (pin115). The shielded wire (quote "One of the wires have like, 2 different wires surrounding the central wire.. ") is the ECU signal wire (pin29).

The light blue wire should have about batt voltage when you turn the ignition on.

The light blue wire with white stripe should be connected to one of the white wires and the other white wire connected to the light brown wire with white stripe. It shouldn’t really matter which white wire you use as they both connect to the 2 sides of a resister (according to the wiring diagram). I confirmed continuity and a resistance of about 4 ohms. The heater is used to bring the O2 sensor up to temp quickly which is useful on cold starts. The O2 sensor should work without these 2 wires connected.

The remaining black wire should be connected to the shielded wire as this is signal wire for the ECU. It is important you connect this wire if nothing else.

Hope this helps.

Ben

You are awesome! thanks heaps mate..

with the shield ground, i should just strip the shield wire down a bit more and make sure only the copper wire is touching the sensor on the o2 sensor.. my understanding of a shield wire is that it is only grounded at one end, and im guessing its gonna be grounded at the ECU.

ill go try now

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
