if the o2 sensor is not close enough to the collector or too far down stream, it will not get hot enough and your car will not run properly.

an option would be to get a heated o2 sensor. then it gets to operating temp quicker. but ive also had them falsify readings when placed too far down the exhaust. the car ran fine, but poor mileage ensued.

yeah true, but the car isnt running an 02 sensor at all which i think is my problem, it looks like he cut the wire on the wiring harness or i just cant find it, im prob going to try to but the oem headers and down pipe and just do custom pipe after the down pipe

i believe theres a pinout on the TSRM, find what color the wire is on there and trace it from the ecu itself. it should come out the end of the harness after it loops all the way around the drivers side. i believe it clipped to the firewall originally. it may have been clipped off at the end so check around where the harness crosses over the cam gear housing.

if you find it, you can keep your header and drill a new hole where the collectors merge, then have a bung welded on for a decent price (or a buddy with a welder), then put a heated o2 sensor in. problem solved and you get to keep your header.

The O2 sensor connector exits the harness right by the oil pressure and temp sensor wiring.

keep running 93 octane in your car all the time. you will have to replace that shiny new 02 sensor after awhile. but hell don't take my word for it =) do it and find out.
