Im getting about 18 mpg City.. with 2 or 3 Hard 80mph run ups. just thought i would share

btw. My o2 sensor wasent showing any signs of failure. then one day i pulled a code 17. Drove like that for a few days and the code never popped back up. Changed the o2 anyway.

I went with the Bosch universal @ autozone for 17 bucks,for those of you that care to know.

question, would this be the case for me as well even if I had removed my air pump along with emissions?

 

Yes, Even if you remove emission. (Airpump,Cat's,EGR) your FD is still using an o2 sensor to help adjust air fuel mixtures

 

YIPPY! Thanks

 

how long did it take to install the sensor?

 

10 mins.

 

where is o2 sensor, anyways. I recently changed the spark plugs thinking it will improve my mpg, but I still get 12 mpg max.

Thanx

 

it is on your downpipe...

 

i just went and took a pic of the sensor for you.

use the abs system as a refference point.

 

what is the part#?? Bosch 11027 ??

Do you have to splice the wire ? Or is it a direct plug in ? Got a part # ? Thanks.

 

Bosch 11027 is the PN.

You splice it. its very simple and comes with all equipment needed - tools.

 

koo man just pick one up

on my pfc it read .3 .2 when the car is on, thats a bad sensor right????

gonna install tomorrow

hey did u move anything out of the way to get to the sensor???

mike

 

^yes, my DP put the sensor RIGHT under the y pipe to the second turbo. So i had to take off the y pipe to get to it... witch sucked. if your sensor is in easy reach, then it should'nt take more then 10 mins.

 

take off the y pipe? hmmm...

ill check it out tomorrow

mike

 

Not everyone should have to go to the length's that i had to. Like i said before. My Downpipe designers placed the o2 clocked a little to much towards the y pipe, So the only RIGHT way to do it was remove the y-pipe
