|
|
| So I have a wideband and I have been slacking on getting it put in (work too many hours). Can I temporarily plug it into the second sensor bung until I get to the exhaust shop? I know I'll get a CEL, but that won't change the way the car runs will it? 2nd O2 should only be for emissions. |

Did you unplug the 2nd 02 completely or did you tie it up? Thanks for the quick answers. |

Ace - I don't think it matters what it reads. It has no affect on the AFR I thought. Doesn't it only tell you if the Cat is working correctly?
I would just unplug it for the time being. |

| Yeah, I think it just takes readings, but is not calculated into the fuel or timing maps. Unplugging it would be much easier. Thanks to y'all. |
