Default oxygen sensor connectors

does anyone know where to get these plugs?

i tried the caspers O2 simulator and it did not work and there was no email responses for weeks now i am onto try 2 with this one:
<A HREF="http://www.importparts.com/importparts.storefront/3fbc20df0004c854271d424d361a05ea/Product/View/ECG-28/
" TARGET="_blank">http://www.importparts.com/imp...28/
</A>

however it doesnt look like it can plug in and i would like to make it just plug into the harness if possible.

please help if you can.

I have a test pipe without an O2 hole. So, I just pulled the secondary O2 sensor into the passenger compartment, wrapped it in aluminum foil and electrical tape and no CEL.

Don't pull it into the cabin. You have to leave it plugged in, but remove it from the cat. Then strap it with foil around the shifter stabilizer. The foil prevents the hot exhaust from melting the wires on the sensor. No need for simulator. No CEL in over one year.

I don't know, but everyone I know that has done it my way hasn't had a CEL. Just give it a try for a week. It wouldn't be as bad as not trying it and finding out it actually works.

I don't have a hole in my test pipe so I had to pull the O2 into the cabin or connect it to something underneath the car. So, I decided to pull it into the cabin. I have absolutely no idea of the purpose of the aluminum foil, but I know others did it, so I did it also and have no problems.

I'm sure it's probably 67 - which doesn't hurt the car, but it's a code that means you're not running an "efficient" cat. The cpu won't register the code until it sees the signal 3 times according to the helms. My Random Technology Cat has been replaced under warranty 4 times because it starts throwing that code within 6 months from new - about every 30 miles.

**I'm going to try the plug & wrap method!**
