hey everyone
Well, i posted this in "under the hood" but didnt get any replies so i figured i might as well try here too. ok, this is the problem. today, im drivin to school with my friend. im in first gear, i take it up to about 7rpms and shift into 2nd and drove normally after that. i dropped my friend off and as i put the car into 1st, i hear my jic titanium exhaust sound like dog sh*t!!! it sounded horrible, like a old ass car farting or something. i knew something was wrong. i had my friend look at it and he said it was official that it was the O2 sensor. I know awhile back XVIPER did a thread on toda header installation, and i have the toda header and he had a pic of what the 02 sensor looked like. my question is are there supposed to be two 02 sensors?? cuz on the driver side, i looked under and i saw it, but on the passenger side, i just saw a hole there. if i do need the 02 sensor, where can i obtain one? and is it easy to plug in? please help. for once, im embarrassed to drive this car cuz of the sound.

 

I have the same problem as of Sunday... I have the toda header too...

My car is at the dealer right now being looked at. Let me know what you find out... I have the comptech sc and exhaust as well...

I have a thread going on right now about it:

yeah man, that totally sux. i saw ur thread earlier and im like what a coincidence. only thing is my check engine light did not come on, and the car runs perfectly fine. i hope it works out for u too man.

 

Yeah, hopefully this works out. My car seems to run just fine as well with the exception of the check engine light. My check engine light didn't go on until the day after on my way over to the dealer which amounted to about 15 miles after I heard the pop a day earlier.

 

will someone please help us!!!!!! i just need to know if i need another 02 sensor. lol, sorry for the outburst there. i just dont wanna drive the car cuz it sounds like crap. i just need to know how to fix this. do i need another exhaust? i did fork out $1100 for the Jic.

 

ususally if there is an bad o2 sensor your check engine light will come on. also the o2 sensor screws into a bung inthe piping, so it is usually a bit difficult to unscrew and a little liquid wrench is recommended prior to any attempt. Usually o2 sensor will go bad if your car is running too rich and can damage the sensor. If you are going to mod then you could possibly invest in an o2 simulator from casper electronics. The unit plugs into the o2 sensor plugs from the ECU and will send voltage reading back that relates to your car running stoich. I dont have the voltage off hand but it works well.

 

I've already PM'd sickest, but I may as well post this here, too.
It sounds like both you guys have lost that bolt that comes with the Toda. The bolt is to plug the extra hole for an aftermarket O2 sensor. "wantone" also had this happen and this is what his problem was. Toda ships these things with the bolt fairly loose. I always double check these things and give it one real good torque. Also, when you get a new bolt, don't forget the washer too.

Same thing happen to my car with the Toda header. Iv'e gotten the habit of checking the plug every oil change.

 

where can i get another bolt from cuz i remember u mentioning that it cant be a simple plain bolt. also where can i get a washer.
Thanks

I've PM'd the two fellas who were interested. However, if anyone just happens to have just received a Today, you could pull that bolt and measure the length and width and have the pitch determined? The washer too?
I'd pull mine but I've Lok-tited mine in and I don't want to mess with it.
