Default HA...HA...02 sensor problems...BY A GULF SPEC

To my surprise and to http://www.thunderracing.com/ win I told the sales that my car 98 Z28 with NO O2 sensor .........

and as im removing the EGR & air bump most how too's say that the S.E soon light will come on and it did for the first time I fired the motor but to my surprise it did not the second time .

I’ve also changed to LS6 manifold which I had some hassle cus no one sid any thing about the plastic holders for the nook sensors wire which was hitting the bottom of the manifold

Changed the plugs #8 made me and wire.

installed a maf - translator & lid +K&N.


Waiting for my complete exhaust system from http://www.thunderracing.com/

I think he's just commenting that he removed the O2 sensors, EGR, and A.I.R. from his Z without tuning, and he was shocked that the SES light only came on the first time he started the car, but not after that. Also, he had some difficulty with the knock sensor wiring clips hitting the bottom of his LS6 intake and with the #8 spark plug...but then again, haven't we all had fun with that plug!

i dont know how it is runing without throwing any codes.. it should be if you havent tuned it...
to tune a car in open loop like yours is, would be the high and low octain table, open loop a/f table, the ve table, and maf.

So I have to install an O2 sensor with auto meter gauge and drive the car to se if it rich or lean?

Hi guys, this is my friend's car. All Persian Gulf Spec cars have no O2 sensors on the exhaust manifolds.

I think so! is there any other possible way for these cars to run (with no O2's)?!?! As far as I know, there isnt. But I could be wrong. I have never worked with these Gulf Spec PCM before. But I guess there will always be the first time.
