  • O2 sensors after installing headers....

    i keep getting codes from my O2 sensors, the 2(one on each of the headers) and the the one before the catalyst. it wasnt doing this before header install. but now it is throwing a code every other day..go to auto zone and get it cleared. and its fine for a day, then comes back on... but it has been alternating between the 3 different sensors. is this normal or does this mean that they are bad?

    That didnt happen to me...after my header install everything was fine...so I dont know that it is a normal thing.
    Maybe some others have more experience with it though...hope you figure it out.

      I had the same exact problem you are having. The thing is the o2 sensors are very sensitive. If you hit the sensors at all when taking them out or putting them back on the inside of the sensor could have been damaged. The only way to fix the problem is to get the sensors that are throwing codes changed out to new ones, once i did that i havent had a problem since

        which reminds me.. I need to check and see which code that SES light actually is.
