Default Installed O2 simms and car is running rough-

Why is my car running so rough after I installed my O2 simms, maybe I put them in the wrong place, but I dont see how thats possible considering there is only one place for them to go. What is going on?

you're supposed to put them in place of the REAR 02's only... check to make sure you have them in the rear.

Well, just to make sure, where are the rear O2's located? Because I am pretty sure that is where I plugged them into.

there are 4 o2 sensors on your car ...it's hard to mistake the rear two from the front two...one sim should plug into the harness located on the drivers side above the tranny linkage if you have an a4...the other one is on the other side about a 1-2 feet up towards the front of the vehicle...this might not help you much but it's a small reference

I never had any luck w/ o2 sims. I wound up just getting the car tuned and all my problems were solved.
