i have mpx lth on my neon and one of the o2 sensors is in but my downstream o2 sensor i think wont reach to the headers.Thats causing my check engine light to go on is there anything i can do to fix that problem

 

extend the wires

EDIT: We dont have headers, we have A (meaning one) header/manifold

 

yea how would i go about extending the wires

 

take some wire and but it to length and cut the sensor away, then splice them in and use shrinkable tubing to seal it

 

do you think that will turn my check engine light off

 

What code is it throwing? Im pretty sure if one of your O2 sensors is out, is going to give you a CEL.

sorry I was in a hurry earlier...

but you have to carefully cut the wire connecting the sensor leaving enough wire on each end to work with. you then take some wire of the same guage and solder the wires together taking care NOT to cross any of the wires.

BEFORE you solder: slip on some shrinkable tubing. when heated, this tubing will shrink and create a water tight seal. make sure no bare wiring is visible or exposed to the outside as it may corrode or damage the wire or connection.

DO NOT USED ELECTRICAL TAPE!!! THIS WILL NOT CREATE A WATER AND AIR TIGHT SEAL LIKE THE SHRINKABLE TUBING WILL.

you may use electrical tape AFTER the shrinkable tubing has been applied to further protect the connection
