if my oxygen sensor on the header has any leak
will my cel go on???

 

yes

 

hmmmm well i htink my o2 sensor is leaking .. i cant tell...
the bolt thread got messed up so i couldnt put it in allthe way...

but i had the check engine light ... for about 2 days..
and today the cel dissapeared.

wonder wats goin on...

 

definately, and if you have aftermarket headers then you will get the CEL.

 

hmmm yea.. i bought the strup headers

used the cel eliminator and put it on the s pipe..

im wondering if i was to use a scanner would i be able to check if there is any leak in the o2 sensor on my header.?

 

well if you messed up the tread on the sensor then be prepared to buy a new one or just get a pick and pick out the tiny medal pieces around the tread and try rebolting it.

 

my friend was telling me to just get him a
2005 tc universal 4 wire o2 sensor with no connector

and he can use solder to make a new one.

would that 05 one work?

 

yeah it's the same thing as long as the same colors are solder together. also i hope you didn't mess up the tread inside the header cause then you have to drill a new tread, if not then say goodbye to them.

 

im not sure if this happens to people also...
but my
cel just turned off

i didnt even use a scanner to reset it or anything.
does this stil mean that i have a leak in my o2 sensor???

 

Even though it turned off, the code is still stored in the computer. It doesn't mean it really went away or stopped on it's own. There is still a leak. The ecu probably compensated for the leakage by adjusting the air/fuel mixture. You car might be running rich now or should of been running rich.

 

get a tap and die set and redo those threads!

 

yeah i believe so

 

You could just buy some pro seal type sealent and put in around where the leak is and let it seal. Make sure you use high temp sealent though.

 

hmmmm i used

black silicon.

i duuno if i dried it enough

cuase after about 2 hours

i drove my car on freeway for like 2 hours

more then 80% of silicon is gone. lol haha

 

^^^ that's not high temp. Either the copper or the rtv red will do.
