Psych0matt Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 So, since my sensor is crossthreaded, and I can't afford a ton of money, i had an idea. Now, I know it's not the best way to do things, but as long as it isn't unsafe, I'm wondering if this would work. Basically, leave the crossthreaded sensor in, drill and tap a hole further down the exhaust a bit, and just lengthen the sensor wires, thus making it easier accesible in the future, as well. what do you guys think?

Psych0matt Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Posted June 26, 2006 In other words, I want to do this to get my car running right, since i think its a very good possibility that it's the o2 causing it to run bad. is there any major reason not to do it? or would you guys say go for it? Quote
cutlsp Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 I would get the old o2 sensor out and retap that hole that is screwed up Quote
Crazy K Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 matt I'm in town, I'll help you get it out. cross threaded??? or just stuck????? big difference. Quote
White93z34 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 yeah we have that happen all the time on the work vans, just use a tap and retap the old hole, always works for us. Quote
