o2 extension melted, running problem
my drivers side o2 extentions was snugged between the oil filter and the block at install. well last sunday i believe my car started idling really funny, but only on start up, every start up, no matter if the engine is hot or cold and does this for about 5-7 minutes of driving time and stops. anyway when i went to put my new tires on i saw this o2 extension just hanging, plastic melted and 1 wire looked like ****, i'm wondering if this could be the cause of the problem. the wire is still plugged into the o2. btw my exhaust is pacesetter LT, !cats, H true duals, 2.5" piping into 2 LM1's dumped so i'm also thinkin the lack of back pressure might be a problem but i really don't think it should be doin that if it's the back pressure

yeah mines snugged there too so it wont hang down and i havent had any problems, been 2 summers with them on....my extensions did come apart and caused my car to run like **** at all times and missfire when in closed loop.....i then put on corvette rear 02 sensors and it fixed my problems. cars been perfect. Only thing i heard is that they dont switch very fast, dont know if that matters, to some it may when tuning

well i haven't got the parts in yet stupid fedex!!!! but i did fix the idle problem! it was actually the pcv elbow that plugs into the passenger side of the manifold that had a small hole in it . . . by the time i saw it the hole was almost the size of a dime hahahaha needless to say my car runs ALOT better
