Default 02 sensors

i have bought a set of pacesetter LT, and am in the process of putting them on. The question i have is what do i do with the rer 02 sensors? i didn't buy sims because i am goine to have the rear ones tuned out. do i just let the rear sensors hang there?

The car will throw all kinds of codes because the PCM still thinks you have rear O2s.

i took mine completely off and ran like that until i got a tune. my car didnt run rough at all just delete them as soon as u can. i definitely wouldnt let the sensors hang though...i would unplug them and just zip tie the connectors to something...and get them deleted asap. u should be good to go. by the way, when u go to tune the car, this is what u need to delete:

Bank 1, Sensor 2 codes:
P0137
P0138
P0140
P0141
P0420

Bank 2, Sensor 2 codes:
P0157
P0158
P0160
P0161
P0430

That would explain why I am only running a mid 13 in the 1/4 even with LT headers and an ORY-pipe. I didn't know it could affect it so much. Thanks.

Running w/o the rears deleted will not affect performance...I ran for a week or two like that before having them deleted. You will trip the SES light b/c the car will think the cats aren't working however it's the front O2's that are used by the computer to make your car run right by monitoring the air fuel ratio (hence the reason you can delete the rears w/o affecting performance)

You can purchase O2 extension wires from www.thunderracing.com for 25 bucks apiece. You can get them in 2 days depending on where you live. I ordered two, but currently have one of the rear o2s hanging because I needed three. I zip tied the last one up, and need to get around to ordering the last one.

Car threw a code, but performance isn't effected. your better off getting the extensions instead of splicing, since the underside of the car sees alot of rough conditions.

Also, it behooves you to measure the distance before ordering. I got the 48' inch extensions, nowhere needed that much, and know I have alot of access coiled up wires zip tied up.

The stock front should reach but you will have to get extensions for the rear since the O2 sensor bung is located 12"-24" back. You would be safe getting a 24" unless you don't want to spend the extra $$. I'd measure bc 12" are a little cheaper, not much, but every little bit counts.
