i put a header on my 97 lx 1.6 civic and the o2 sensor after where the cat would be is now to short. the a/f sensor on the header works, but since the o2 was too short i just put the bung in it. there is no longer a cat/exhaust mani just a header. SO the question is, do i cut and splice to make the sensor wires longer to make it fit in the hole, and what do i do about the cel for the no cat? thanks so much for any help in advance.

 

 

Unbolt the header throw it in the trash bolt up a turbo setup, convert to obd1 and ur cel will go away.

 

come on guys, some real replies please. the turbo will be at the end of summer, maybe sept. so for now, i need some info on the cel. thanks

 

o2 simulator, or convert to obd1 now in preparation.

 

even if you lengthen the wires you will still have a cel. get the obd-1 set up or a simulator.

 

yeah im not a tool, i know to lengthen the wires, still a cel cuz theres no cat in the mani ne more. so where do i get the simulator and about how much? also, the obd1 conversion. what all does that consist of and how much and where do i find that?

 

Jesus christ get it where you find everything, ebay.

 

well ok. but i am just extending the original sensor. now, is there any way to make this cel go off? its gonna come back on because of no cat.
