Can the 2nd O2 sensor can be disconnected?
Reason for asking is, I have a Milltek on my MGF that I thought about fitting onto the TF, as the F is MEMS2 it has the earlier exhaust with the longer bend to the CAT so I would need to fit the MGF CAT as well so no place to fit the 2nd O2 sensor.

Yep, you fit a MIL eliminator box on the second lead. basically it's a box of tricks that fools the ecu into thinking the sensor is still there.

Posted 14 years 9 months ago #9703I take it that ebay is the place to go for such a device.

Posted 14 years 9 months ago #9743Interesting thought, but I don't think what the sensor is expecting is clean air.:dunno:Rough Luck;9727 wrote: This may sound daft but cant you leave it connected and clip it somewhere out of the way, it would still take readings from normal outside air
The O2 reading would be too high.

Posted 14 years 9 months ago #9804I have no 2nd O2 sensor as mine has an early exhaust on a late MEMS 3 engine in an early MEMS 1.9 car, no light in my dash so it doesn't bother me.
Seems to run just fine without.
Take the bulb out from the dash maybe? :whistle:
