Now....I figured I'd go check to see if anything had come off or cooked itself.

My f'king oxygen sensor isn't even plugged in!!! aarrrggg!!!

Long story, but the 2nd last mechanic I went to has caused my so much stress, rofl.

Before I go plugging things in...I need to make sure I am plugging it into the right socket...

The photo doesn't help much, but it should have four wires going to it.

it will only fit on one socket!

you should be able to feel the difference with it plugged in, nearly double the Hp!

The one on the right is the oxygen sensor, has 4 wires on it.



The one on the left is the spare plug in my engine bay. It also has four wires from the plug.
It comes from a bundle of 3 cables. @ go off to the black box mounted near the firewall, whereas this one just hangs around.

It's plugged in, and the car starts and idles. I will give it a spin around the block once someone returns to the office an I am not the only one here.

The 'black box' has a relay in it for the ECU and oxygen sensor.

MASSIVE difference, and that's only after about 30k of driving.

The first thing I noticed was when I planted my food in 3rd gear on a straight....instead of power tapering off at the higher revs (Due to it leaning out I guess) the power just kept on coming.
