scott87 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ive just bought a 2nd decat, waiting for it to be delivered today. What do you do with the exhaust temp sensor, do you just bridge this or should there be aplace to install it on the decat. Bought one of the ebay specials at £90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 you can just cable tie the sensor out the way i unplugged mine and car run fine and just put a grommet in the hole in the floor (if you are talking about the stock cat temp sensor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Cool i was a tad confused with what to do with it. What does it do exactly. Is it best disconnecting it entirely, bridging it or just tiying out the way but leaving sensor and all connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 if i remember correctly its to tell if the cat is over heating, have a search mate as said i disconected mine car runs fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It should be left connected and tied up out of harms way. I drill the flange on the chassis leg with a 2.5 mm hole and tie wrap or wire it up neatly to the leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Mr Wilson says, leave it connected and zip tie it up out of harms way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
