o2 Sensor Help

[lowresolution]

Guys ,
I just noticed that my O2 sensor is`nt connected . And the grip is broken as well , so now i`ll have to go to my mechanic( who is quite far away) to have it fixed . Now i am not getting nay check lights or so . I wanna ask that , is it that much necessary to have the o2 sensor connected ? what am i missing performance wise ? any potential dangers ??

Anyone ?

better to have it connected. i ran without one for a loong time.. was working fine and still strong. but id suggest you put it back on.

performance will be the same. it will overfuel on idle and cruising. you will get no engine lights if its not connected.

just get a crimp and join it together. dont mess about going miles to see a mechanic

Location of O2 sensor

Where is the O2 sensor located on 4efte engine ep82

 

[Gtstu]

on the cat/downpipe just to the right of the turbo

oxygen sensor is located on the top end of the down pipe on a 4efte.

Oxygen sensor does most of its work helping the ecu achieve perfect air fuel ratio and complete combustion on light throttle and during idle situations.
it wont hurt the car or cause any lights to come on not having it plugged in or operating. but you will get an decrease in fuel economy.
