Default Post cat O2 sensor problem

I think I have a sensor going bad after the header install. What is the best option? Replace the sensor or go ahead and do O2 sims?

Anyone have a price on a new sensor?

I'm having the same problem. Mine is with one of the bank 2 sensors. She's throwing codes. I'm thinking I'm going to use LS1Edit and tune them out.

i'm experiencing the same thing...

will be taking mine back in to see the codes. The first time around, the codes were pointing out a bad sensor... the wiring had melted.

Had that looked after and repaired last week, but now check engine started acting up again. Will be taking it in tomorrow to see what kinda codes are popping up.

I'm thinking mine may be a melted wire too. I'm under the impression that the rear sensors can be ignored or programmed out without any problems. Is that true?

I've checked the connections and wiring all the way back. Nothing obvious :rolleyes: but what do I know. I understand that LS1edit is able to program the rear O2 sensors to "off". I don't have access to LS1edit, so I bought some O2 simms. We'll see if that takes care of it.
