Hooked up my o2 sensor the other day and the internet lied to me on the wires, resulting in me swapping the signal and signal ground wires and the ECU not getting a signal. Crawled under today and swapped the wires around and... nothing still. God fucking dammit. Also my phone has stopped charging properly so that’s super fun. Blew out the USB port with a can of air and tried four different chargers. It takes 6 hours to charge up 60%. I’ve only had this fucking thing for 6 months. Shit, I had my HTC One M7 for about 6 months and then the charging port on it just got super intermittent. What is it with me and charging issues?

Didn’t you just cut through wires instead of unplugging the connection?

Are you sure the O2 sensor is getting power? Maybe there is a blown fuse?

The fuse for the o2 sensors is also for half of the engine electricals so if it blew I’d definitely know it.

That’s how you’re supposed to do it. New sensor has no plug. If I wanted to drop $120 I could get an OEM-style plug on the end of the exact same Bosch o2 sensor, then I’d have to drop the exhaust, possibly break an exhaust flange stud, fiddle with plastic clips, take out the driver seat, fiddle with christmas tree fasteners, pull up the carpet, undo the connector, then fish it through a shitty grommet.
I like my car but fuck Mazda for that particular engineering decision.

Fair enough, it sounded like you took the easy way out. The only O2 sensor I’ve replaced was on an 04 WRX and other than getting the bitch out, it wasn’t that bad at all.

I had to go get an o2 wrench but it actually came out really easily with a little breaker bar. Some Bosch sensors are rebrands of another manufacturer so I might buy a different part# and try that. I dunno.

We used an O2 wrench with a breaker bar and it wouldn’t budge, a little heat, aka heating the fuck out of it, did the trick.

The one in the Murdersofa was totally ganked. The threads melted somehow and we ended up ziptying a ratchet strap to the breaker bar and yanking it with a lawn tractor. 3 hours of trying and we were straight out of fucks to give.

How are you connecting the wires?
Lots of O2 sensors use air channeled through the insulation in the wires as a reference to compare atmospheric O2 to what’s in the exhaust. If you solder and heat shrink you block the air and loose the reference, and the sensor won’t read correctly.
