Default My Camaro - 3, O2 Sensors - 0

Well, I think I found out why my car has been running like crap. It has been behaving the same way as it did when I lost an O2 sensor, so I crawled underneath it last night to have a look. I found out my driver's side O2 sensor wires had touched one of my header tubes and fused together. I'm pretty sure that would cause the O2 sensor to stop working correctly...

Now to track down the oil leak.

that happened to me on the passenger side....what i did was cut the old wirs in the engine compartment , extended them about a foot, then rerouted the harness out of harms way.too easy.. too bad my buddy did it for me while i was at work.
