Me to, just returned from a 150 mile round trip to glasgow and my fuel light is on after me putting £20 in before i left!

Wish i'd found this out months ago and not the week i sold my car :rolleyes:

universal sensor from local car parts shop, £20 plus adaptor plate, its on the exhaust after the flexi pipe, i had to remove the manifold to get to it as it has a little heatshield that gets in the way, but it only took half an hour!

found out its also classed as a service part to be changed every 50k miles!

had a little discussion with bloke at shop about whether the sensor is good enough, he claimed the universal ones are no good for mr2, after a quick call it showed he was wrong, just incase anyone has the same argument as i did.

dont need a part no, just go into a local car parts shop and ask for a 4 wire universal lambda sensor and an adaptor plate for toyotas! if it costs you over 30 your payin too much, dunno what affect it would have on a tubby, im just talkin from my experience.

When i fitted my decatt, i had to remove the O2 sensor to put it in my decat.

I nearly rounded the nut, as it was so rusty, i would recomend trying to use a ring spanner...DONT ROUND IT OR YOUR F@#KED. :ffs:

I cut the wire, about 6" from the sensor, unpluged it from the car, then removed the sensor with a ring spanner, put the sensor back in my new down pipe, and then soldered the wires back together. :D

Reason i had to cut the wire...the plug is too big for a ring spanner to fit over ! :thumbsup:

Think it sounds a ball ache...

With having no ramps...also wouldnt know where to start taking the exhaust apart

wouldnt recommend it if you havent got a pair of ramps or decent axle stands, must be different sensor for tubby cos one on na has 2 bolts either side so theres no issue of fittin spanner over connector.

for me to say its an easy job could mean a nightmare for anopther person without access to the tools and ramps i can get my hands on!
