oxygen sensor

Postby Pelo » Mon Sep 11, 2006 7:50 pm

I scored a free 4 wire oxygen sensor from a silvertop 4age, will it work fine on my 4agze? It is supposed to have a 4 wire, but is currently fitted with a single wire unit.

IIRC the extra wires are for a heater in the oxy sensor, so it gets up to a temperature at which it can give useful readings quicker.

the four wire has the heater, and a seperate earth wire to the ecu for less interferance, if u ecu runs a 4wire stock u should have no problem using it
