messing with the O2 sensor
I have been having trouble with gettig a reading from the O2 sensor ever since I got my car. I just took a trip to Gainesville and averaged about 20 MPG on a ~315 mile trip with 85% of the traveling on the interstate. I had to replace it and it was saldered before. I didn't know that my dad had a salder gun so I just crimped it. It worked for a while but it started acting up right be for the trip. I looked at it yesturday and found that the wire had been cut somehow. I saldered it yesturday and now it may not even be there. Is there an extension that I could get somewhere for the wiring harness. I need a cable twice the length of what I get already on a new O2. The connector is up towards the top of the tranny. Is there some sort of wire extension that I can get just so that I don't have to worry about saldering the O2. Right now my gas mileage is pretty pathetic for what it should be. I already cleaned the O2 when I took it out and didn't help.

Just hit up a junkyard and grab a connector and wire section. Solder it to the section on your car and you'll be all set.

Re: messing with the O2 sensor
I'm tired of messing with it so i want to go the route of not trying to piece together something that will work. All I am really asking is that is there an extension cord out there for the O2 so that I don't have to cut and piece together wires.

Re: messing with the O2 sensor
Toehead suggestion is the best. YOu can get a o2 wire with as much wire as possible and sodder or crimp the new wire to the old

Re: messing with the O2 sensor
You could have made your own for a quarter of that price.
I suppose that one is more "professional" though. To each their own.
