VR O2 sensor

[Bourbonated]

Before anybody says 'Search', I'm just after a simple answer from anybody that is willing to help. While driving my 'new' 94 VR, the check engine light came on.. But only ever over 80 km/h. Anyway.. After paperclipping the ALDL connector out threw me error 13.

Earthing problem with possible fix or just replace it? Where am I able to get genuine holden parts around Maitland/Newcastle area?

[IBLOWN]

Replace the sensor. Any auto shop can help with the part.

Thank you very much, Blown.

The earth problem is only applicable to the VS. Get a new sensor.

How much are new O2 sensors?

Mine is doing exactly the same and throwing 13 fault code....it means it is going open circuit or its going to a much higher resistance than what is considered within the normal limits...yep new sensor needed...only drama is how much you want to spend.....if ebay is your source I was planning on using a 4 wire vs one and joining up to the existing plug and wiring for around 50 bucks or go totally plug and play for 30 bucks more .....2 wire ones are a bit cheaper if your car uses that type...give away is how far away the sensor is from the engine if its near the cat it will be the 4 wire type as it needs a heater for it to operate properly......if its just clear of the exhaust manifold it will be 2 wire.

After going to all the big name stores, and could only get a 4 wire universal one which then has to be wired up, I went to a small car parts place here in the Bay,
and would you believe they had one that had the square 4 wire plug on it and for only $55 I believe it was a NGK brand as well.
Anyway had it fitted up last week and that took care of my error code 13, now just gotta fix codes 21 and 22

My local shop wants 80 for it. Not too bad I guess.. On an semi unrelated point, my radiator coolant is dirty and needs a good flush.. I have no money for concentrate, will premixed be okay for a week or so?

Hi people, i had the same issue as most of you, i have the VR V6. I got my self a universal o2 sensor, I put it in my self. Its a few months old now. But why would it be giving me the no signal code 13 ??

I under stood the two white wires the sensor has, could go either way? And i put black with black, and grey with grey.

Any Help??
