my car runs like a bag of sh*t when cold for the first minute or so & even when warn i get low speed jerking & popping back on the over run at lowish revs, but it runs much better ,smoother & quicker with the o2 sensor disconnected & i get none of the symptoms above ,obviously it needs a new one ,its a bit of a mare to get the old one out ,the ecu goes to default mode & calculates a substitute value what are the longterm effects of running it with the sensor off ,

Kev, When the engine is cold it does not use the O2 sensor. The 02 sensor only comes in to effect when warm, over say 70deg and therefor should not effect your cold start.
I'd have a look at your coolant sensor first. I had a problem simipar and it turned out to be a damp connection to the coolant sensor. Steve |

Kevin, I have my Oxy sensor disconnected too, so I could remap all the part throttle fueling sites without the sensor messing up what I just put in. You have to be carefull with what you say these days on these forums, but i don't think it would cause any damage long term unless you still have the cat fitted, if so this may suffer? If not then its better than your sensor reading wrong and putting a lean mixture into your engine, or vica versa. The ultimate fix though, as you know is to replace the sensor. I'd advise to check the fueling on a dyno....try Westec in Newport. |
