I had the megan racing test pipes on and didnt install the non foulers. threw a CEL and got annoyed so I finally did the help method but found that the threads were melted on both sensors.

I ordered a passanger side o2 sensor but I needed the drivers side o2 sensor. I wasnt paying any attention when I ordered.

I cant return it since its past the time allowed so I was wondering if there was a way to get the passangers side o2 sensor to work with the drivers side plug. I really dont want to spend another $100+ on another one.

 

cut and splice it in. Only difference between the two is the plug.

curious how your threads were "melted"

I would think that the sensor was cross threaded in and the threads were stripped.

 

I garantee thats what happened.

 

thanks for the info zivman. i'll try splicing the wires.

they werent cross threaded. it screwed in easily when they were installed. they really melted. dunno how it happened.

 

Ive never heard of that happening thats pretty hot! Would a lean condition cause extremely hot gasses to do that? Or would the piston turn into jelly first?
