Upstream o2 sensor - 94 Suburban
Hello,
I've got a problem.
Last night, while I was at the auto store, I needed to replace my upstream o2 sensor. So, while I was spinning it out... BAM! Threads spun right out. So, now, I have no threads in my exhaust to spin my new o2 sensor in...
Here's my thought. Ream it out, jb weld the new one into place. It's not like i'm going to own this truck another 22 years. It'd be nice, but won't happen. So I don't think i'll have to worry about taking it out ever again.
However, during the meantime, how will having no o2 sensor plugged in affect the trucks performance?
What issues am I going to run into? I know it's going to be in an open loop, and I know fuel is going to pour into the throttle body...
What's going to be my biggest problem as of right now?
