O2 Sensor Help???

When i brought my rx7 not 2 long ago the guy i brought if from said that it needed a o2 sensor cuz it runs really rich with out it. So i brought one and put it in but i cant find the other end that plugs into the engine i dont think it there but the guy said it is. Where would this plug on the engine be?

Profile lists an '87 TII, so I'd assume S4 is the right guess. As mentioned, it's a green plug with a single black wire. It comes off the harness near the primary injectors, and loops behind the intake manifold on the passenger side.

Yeah, sometimes they're brown/tan. I've seen that on some engines too.

^ It sounds like the previous owner sold the car without an 02 sensor installed.

It's likely someone broke/cut the plug off, or it's hidden under the UIM now. If all else fails, you can run a new wire directly from the ECU, through the firewall & to the 02 sensor.
