I think this is the right area to post this.

I am wondering if I could solder in a wide band O2 sensor in place of the factory O2 sensor and the ECU be able to read what it needs to for its parameters? I dont expect it to be able to read the full scale or it to be used in place of a wide band.

Reason being, is that when trying to remove my factory O2 it stripped out in the cast housing. Now I have an extra AEM wide band sensor that is good, and I can not afford the $200+ for another factory sensor.

 

no one?

 

Without a front O2 sensor, your car will run pig rich and throw a CEL. I know because I just replaced mine last summer. EGT temps were lower than usual.
Hope this helps.

 

I really dont think so.

 

Get a non-Mitsu sensor. I believe I paid $56 shipped for mine. The wires were the proper length, it had the correct harness on it, and the car is running perfect and making great power! It also comes with a 12-month/12k mile warranty.

A regular o2 sensor goes from 0-1v. A wideband goes from 0-5v. You cannot hook up a wideband output to a normal o2 sensor input. If you have a something to convert the signal you can do it. I know the zeitronix can turn do it. It takes the wideband signal and produces a narrow band signal that you can hook up. I don't think the AEM can do that.

 

Wideband O2 sensor needs to be driven by a complex electronic circuit but a narrowband O2 sensor generates readings on it's own. You need a wideband controller to drive a wideband O2 sensor.

 

ah, interesting information. Thank you everyone
