O2 sensor wires

oh no.. when i swapped to my Si header last summer, i dont remember if i hooked the 02 sensors up right... my car gets like 450 km's to a tank with regular city lightfoot driving... thats like 23 MPG... very bad... i need someone with an EK to add me to MSN or show me which sensor hooks to which plug...

one is longer than the other... i have the primary O2 hooked to the shorter wire and the secondary to the longer plug... its hard to explain... a pic would be nice..

thanks guys

Travis

the secondary sensor hooks up to the plug with the slightly longer wire...

look at the 2 o2 sensor plugs.. they both come out of the harness near the transmission at the same point, yet one plug has slightly longer wires.. that is the secondary one

the o2 sensors are exactly the same except the length of the wires, so if you did hook them up improperly, which is highly unlikly, there would be no problems otherwise your engine light would come on 450km per tank is real good for fuel milage in the city
