Problems with not using the factory plug?

 

if there is a post on this let me know i cant find it...

 

You have to cut and splice the connector on your old sensor, which introduces additional points of potential failure, but if you don't mind that then go for it.

 

go to napa and get the bosch. pay a little more now and they will save you money in the long run on gas

 

the what looks to be universal ones arnt good i take it...

 

Yea, I have heard the universal ones aren't good.
Also, like horatio said, I would stay away from having to cut or splice into the OEM wiring. The oxygen sensors produce very low voltage (0 to 1 volt, depending on oxygen content, of course), so keeping as little resistance as possible in the wiring is key (especially since the lower the voltage reading the PCM gets, it thinks it needs to add more gas).

 

how do you replace an O2 sensor? I assume it is a DIY project, but some pointers would be good.

 

Get an adjustable wrench, you can apply more torque than with an O2 socket. Use an OEM sensor Bosch sucks

 

what makes bosch so bad? also where the hell are the sensors?

 

on you exhaust pipe...and idk why bosch is bad...
