Swapped manifold, o2 sensor lead short

[JerryL]

Swapped manifold, O2 sensor lead short and touching head, is this problem? if so what have others done to resolve.

Get a longer lead o2 sensor. Or, if you have a duff o2 sensor, crimp the connector onto the end of the wire of this one. 

The post-cat o2 sensor is longer Denso DOX-0206 I believe.

Alternatively Denso DOX-0109 and crimp it to the desired length.

@Carolyn can confirm, but I'm pretty sure the post-cat one is the same spec and has a longer lead... they certainly look VERY similar!

[Ardent]

Yep. same spec longer lead.

[BahnStormer]

Yep. same spec longer lead.

and comes with clips.... and costs less!

[shnazzle]

Universal (dox-0109) is still 50%cheaper

Thanks for all the info. I will investigate.

I wouldn't actually advise doing it due to the temperamental nature of O2 sensors, they tend to die as soon as you remove them from their natural habitat, BUT...
If you're desperate you could always swap the post cat sensor for the manifold sensor to put you on.
The manifold sensor will just plug the hole in the cat and give you an EML but it doesn't really do anything other than tell the ECU if the cat is working anyway.
Again, it would only be a temporary measure until you sorted out a replacement.

After this long on the forum...have you learned nothing of my angry rants?  


But yes, if you must sacrifice one of the o2s, the post-cat affects fueling least

The beatings will continue, until morale improves.

I know how much you like to rant, I'm just here to facilitate...😆
