$20 to extend wires and clear a CEL? Take your car elsewhere. learn to solder.

You're spending to much on "labour" this would be a 15$ job max 5-8$ o2 sensor and 3$ for 2ft of 14g wire plus 1$ for an exacto knife to strip the wire back.

Whatever you say buddy. I have never seen an O2 sensor in that spot on a Bseries. So good luck with that.

i think its resting right there, instead of hanging in the back...of the motor...because the o2 and that connector both have the same fittings

seperate the O2 wires from the wiring loom then re route them to the back, then tape them back up. I did this with my z6 harness when I swapped in my B16 no need to extend or cut the wires. Also denso direct fit O2 sensors go for like $30-40 on amazon brand new

Return it already, get refund, then buy a BRAND new one that is a direct fit. Can't believe I'm having this conversation. You don't spend a dollar to save a nickel.

Look at these prices: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...&parttype=5132 ... exact fit Denso is $48 ... and there are ones cheaper than that.

OP will try to put some pics up tomorrow to show you what i mean about separating the wires from the loom
