Angarak Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 When decatting, I've read that people tie the obsolete 1st cat temp sensor up out of the way. Is it safe to unplug it so I can remove it completely (ie: no ill effects)? I would have thought so, but Im curious to know if others have unplugged it (the plug is alongside the transmission tunnel in the drivers footwell.

MKIVDreamer Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 IIRC unplugging triggers a sensor failure, hence tie it up out of the way. Hopefully someone else can confirm..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 i think with the amount of people that just say tie it up rather than remove, there must be a reason for that. But then i'm not technical with cars, so i probably shouldnt be posting in here, so i'm gona end this now and plod along into another section good bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 It causes a fault code. It might be possible to stick a resistor in the plug pins instead but why bother, just tuck it out the way... -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Cheers Guys, It causes a fault code. It might be possible to stick a resistor in the plug pins instead but why bother, just tuck it out the way... -Ian Should I be bothered about it causing a fault code?...will that effect the running of the car in anyway?...should I get a 'warning' light somewhere on my dash to indicate this? I'd like to remove it so I can use that particular hole on the transmission tunnel to wire my AEM UEGO Sensor into my 2nd decat.

Ark Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Wow - thread resurection! Any ideas about the warning light question? I ask because there is no way I could unbolt the two blobs of rust holding my temp probe to the exhaust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
