Work doesn’t start until 10am, which means I got to wake up at 7 and put a new rear o2 sensor in my car! Yay!
Because Mazda gonna Mazda the rear o2 sensor in a NB Miata requires pulling the driver seat, lifting up the carpet, unhooking a connection and then pulling it through a grommet on the floor, then undoing a couple of clips just to get out the o2 sensor. Did I do any of that? hell no
Grab your ass some bolt cutters and hack your way through the harness, grab a wirestripper and strip like you’re at a stag party, screw in the new o2 sensor *before* soldering, then solder and heatshrink the piss out of the new wires. Tuck it all back up into the PPF, marvel at how the PPF is dirty and nothing else under the car is, take the car off the jackstands and clear the code.
Sweet sweet victory
Then Something New

Damn that’s some boldness right there.
I can only work on my car starting early Saturday with a whole day to fix whatever I fucked up. EVERY SINGLE PROJECT I do takes a whole day.

I’ve got a bad O2 sensor on my NA and it has the same routine, pull out the seat, pull up the carpet, etc. I was thinking of just saying “screw it,” cutting the damn thing, and soldering in a new one. You have inspired me!

If you get a Bosch aftermarket 4-wire sensor it will have totally different colors than the harness. Flyin’ Miata has a document on their website that tells you what colors go where. I accidentally soldered the signal wire to ground so my O2 sensor is actually not reporting anything right now so I’ve got to jack up the passenger side of my car and swap around those two wires.

Ugh what a pain in the butt. I’ll check out flyin’ miata’s diagram. Thanks!
