I need to lengthen the wires to fit my downpipe on the turbo install and now my car stutters and almost acts like there is no throttle when I barely get on it from 2500 - 3000 after that its fine.

I heard you need sheilded wired for the 02 sensor, plus I do not have vtec hooked up at the moment

btw this is a d16z6

thanks for any help

 

up

 

anyone

 

h,mmmm

 

You sure you didn't cross any wires?

I'd verify with a digital multimeter.

Are you throwing the O2 code now?

 

how did you splice the o2 wires did you solder the wires, you might have developed a high recistance situation. Which will send faulty reading to the ecu recistance check the wires you splice by isolating them from the rest of the circuit

 

well I did not solder them, I used some cheap single strand radio shack wire to lengthen it about 3 more feet. Yes there is more resistance, but now I thing i should have extended the harness not the 02 sensor

 

single strandswire is your first mistake you need to use multi strand wire in the same gauge as the factory

 

other than that will shielded wire benifit me? the singe wire is the same gauge, i didnt find this out untill I got home from radio shack

 

shielded wire is not necessary just mulitstrand copper rubber insulated will be fine in the same gauge desired
