I discovered that whatever sensor this is in the picture is unplugged! I remember when I was getting my convertors "fixed" they said my O2 sensors were unplugged, and they plugged them back in for me. So I go to take a picture of my turn-downs for someone, and lo! A sensor is unplugged, is this a serious problem? And what the hell could make it just come unplugged like that?

yeah thats a o2

i am suprised you haven't kicked a mil on it. plug them back together and see if you can secure it some way so it won't come undune agian.

 

I tried taking a peek under there to see where it goes, couldn't find a thing, was going to borrow a friend's jack when he gets his eclipse off it. See, I'm not the most auto-literate and experienced person, at all, s'why I need you people But I am learning! I promise, I only ask each stupid question once.

 

Looks like a MIL eliminator.

You are losing torque with those dumps

 

By the way... what? o.o

 

a mil eliminator? :\

 

mil = malfunction indicator light AKA check engine light. your cars computer monitors your exhaust emission, and if it isnt reading in the range where it should, it tells your computer that someting is wrong down there. It can sometimes pull timing and mess with your A/F ratio

 

Ahh, my check engine light has come on about 3 days ago, I suppose that was about when it became unplugged. Is there anyway to deal with/ remove those? Aside from getting a tuner, while that is my next purchase to be made, I'm still a ways off from getting it.

 

Are you currently using MIL eliminators? Or do you have cats? If you have cats you just need to make sure your 02 sensors are plugged in and stay that way. If you have a cat-less midpipe, get MIL eliminators, they plug into your 02 sensors and essentially trick your computer into thinking everything is fine down there.

And yes tuners can turn them off for good, atleast the Diablo one can, not sure about the rest of them.

 

Well, they are catless, BUT, if they're both plugged in, and the check engine light goes off, then that makes them eliminators, no?
