Hey does anyone know were I can get an 02 sensor simulator. My gas mileage has gone to S***. I filled up two days ago and already at half a tank I have the powerlabs ST and threw the O2 code. Mine is a 2006... Lil help please

 

www.o2simulator.com They have them there, or you could try non-foulers as well which are simply o2 sensor spacers.

 

Dunno if foulers/simulators are going to help your mileage. Sounds like your upper O2 sensors are dead which I think are needed to keep your idle/cruizing afr in range. My guess is you're running pig rich all the time at this point... also might want to look into why they failed, perhaps you're leaning out in boost and melted them...

 

I have 2 o2 simulators and 1 02 fouler spacer thing. Let me know if you want one. the simulators are new.

 

umm, its the turbo thats killing your gas mileage not CEL O2 sensors.

good luck though, fixing that cel on 2005 and later seems to be trivial at best.

 

Did you heat wrap your o2 sensors by the turbos when you put them in? You could have burned through a wire or something... But if the sensors are shot, its becuase of the turbos as mentioned above.

 

Stop floor your pedal. lol

 

id like to know how the simulators work, not the therory but in real life if they actually work

 

Well i think its supposed to send the correct voltage reading to the ecu eliminating the CEL.

 

Only had the turbo on for about 2 weeks now and still havent really gotten on it. I you think I could have melted them already? Took the car to The shop that I had the install and they told me I should get the 02 simulator...

 

LOL Thats a true story. Think ima just have to get used to the CEL and roll with it

 

I had my install done At PF supercars, I had them header wrap everything Im sure they would wrap everything that is important. I will call Ray today. Now if the sensor is shot. What kinda problems am I gonna run into?

 

so when you reset the CEL it just keeps coming back?

One reason to pay a shop to do the install over a DIY, is the fact you can just take it back if something is not right.

If the wiring is fine, try a cheap non-fouler 1st. We also need the code as it might be a too rich/lean code which is tune related.

 

Im thinking that is what I need (non-fouler) I will get the code for you. And I havent tried to reset the code. MY AFR is around 11.3 but when under WOT goes into the 10's around 10.8. (AEM WideBand UEGO)

 

just reset it. sometimes they will trigger but never come back. Its only when they keep coming back when you have to start looking for a fix

 

Good deal. Ill do that today Thanks man
