Default Fuel Injectors

when igot my long tubes, i forgot to buy the 02 adapter kit for them...my car ran fine w/o the 02's...i always thought they were just for better fuel economy...if anything, i think my car ran better w/o them (especially top end) b/c of the rich conditions.

ya O2=oxygen, you will have to get under the car next to where the headers end and you will see a little tube thingie plugged into the pipe, just unscrew it and check to see if its looking alright...

Ill try - my car is lowered and has a body kit so its unbelievably hard to get under. I have ramps but they're not very good the skid around. </P>


Will this tube thing be plugged right into part of the actual header?</P><edited><editID>Milky</editID><editDate>37964.6349884259</editDate></edited>

Not the header itself, but into the H pipe

Ok, well I just found out theres an exhaust leak right next to the 02 sensors that Im gonna fix up and see if that helps... I imagine it will help the idle not be rough or atleast as rough.
