Default I am a complete moron...

Ok Ive posted quite a bit on here about my probs. First my Rear O2's werent readin right and my ECT sensor was bad. Ok fine swapped the ECT and ordered a set of O2 sims. Replaced those and the car ran like crap in the low RPM's and set off more CEL's. Replaced the MAF, new plug wires, new driver side O2. Went back to autozone. My pass side O2 was readin bad. So I buy a new one. Just installed it and noticed My dumb brain put the pass side O2 sim in the primary spot. What the hell was I doing?! God im a tard. Feel free to bash.....

So your rear o2's were not reading right? You mean the front o2's surely.

Man don't beat yourself up. I once was a victim of my own stupidity, let me tell you. So i kinda learnd how to drift, and well i took my buddy out for a spin to show him my newly discoverd skill. So i stop at a conner and i tell him "man, we are going to need more turn's" and then i pin it and drift for about 2 second's and then i realize i gave it to much gas and now iam heading for the sidewalk and BOOM!!!!!, i hit the sidewalk and my right rear wheels literliy blows up. Yup that was real stupid of me and adding insult to injury i said "man, we are going to need more turns" seconds before i **** up on my first atempt .

Initially my rear O2's werent readin right. I expected that with LT's and high flow cats. But somehow when I put the O2 sim in I put the pass side O2 sim in the primary spot. Then my car ran like junk. and then I started replacing everything. On the trird trip to autozone I they said my pass side primary O2 wasnt working. Bought a new one and found my dumb mistake.

And staringback dont be stupid..... My eclipse has the flux capacitor.
