guys when u disconnect the o2 sensors wire that's goes to the injectors and no check engine light comes on WHAT DOES THAT MEANS????????????????????????

car runs OK rev good.

[soop]

Wanna elaborate?
You've unplugged the o2 sensors?

[rocket0000]

i mean the black fuse of the 02 sensor which is on the passenger side and on it there is a green rubber that's protects it from dirt. the fuse is exactly same as the maf sensor one.

[soop]

Eh?

I'm lost sorry, what fues?
I know that the electrical connectors have a colour rubber seal. Is that what you mean?

You probably wont get an engine light untill the engine warms up, I drove my car around for a couple of days without o2 sensors. It still run alright, just used ALOT of fuel.

[rocket0000]

when u follow the 2 wires that comes from the 02 sensor ends up to a black plastic shit... i just unplugged that.
shoudnt the ECU LODGED A CODE??? or should i let the car warm up as u said???

[soop]

Ahk yeah, All you've done is disconnected the O2 sensors from the loom.
Let the car warm up and it will most probably flash an engine light.

i may not turn the check engine light on but then again it might as my VP's did wen that failed. i just had a problem with my EGR sensor and it didnt show the check engine light but still showed a fault, so It should still log the fault wen u drive the car.

[rocket0000]

yes mate i did drive the car and after that check engine was on and i did read the code as p1157. that's it . so my o2 sensor is working thanks god. they wanted 2 charge me 280$ for GM o2 sensors + labor 120$ so all comes up 400$ what a son of bitch Richy job is...

[rocket0000]

u know what guys at first i did love commodores but i doubt now i started to hate these cars as they do fail on ALOT of things. so lets start ...
1. dick heads engine mounts
2. oil in coolant

[rocket0000]

3. coolant in oil
4. un accurate fuel gauge

[rocket0000]

5. UN accurate distance to empty
6. wheel hub they do fail a lot
7. a ####y purge hose. Holden forget to put a hose clamp on the top.

[rocket0000]

and heaps of things but these cars they do look cute man. the other thing is the labor in this country is something fiction unbelievable that's why u have to learn do it yourself otherwise shake that little pocket. especially when u go to the dealers actually i call them STEALERS as one of the guys in this forum agree with me.

[delcowizzid]

just cause the light comes on doesnt mean the sensor is any good just means its not totally dead yet they will read way out well before they throw codes they last about 75000km if the cars over 100000km they will be tired

i noticed you said sensors, sure they arnt referring to the o2 sensors on the exhaust? as $280 plus 120 for labor is too much for just the one on the airbox

[rocket0000]

no mate am talking bout the GM o2 sensors 140$ each and both sides that 280$ and 1 hour labor 120$... this is what Holden told me...

i did my o2 sensors last week they were bosch $65 each and i replaced them with a small and large adjustable spanner/wrench in about 30mins. fuel consumption has gone from 18l/100 to 12

[acarmody]

LOL $400 for o2 sensors. As drift-it said, about $60 each and changed in about 30 min.

[wortus]

I've found these cars to be really reliable as long as you service them properly, change all the fluids when needed and dont thrash the crap out of them. I had a VN for nearly 10 years and apart from replacing the shocks, exhaust for most of that time all it needed was servicing. It only broke down twice and that was a crank angle sensor and then the fuel pump which is pretty normal. The only other things that failed were the harmonic balancer but that went in the driveway and the alternator and water pump bearings.

[accentstencil]

just cause the light comes on doesnt mean the sensor is any good just means its not totally dead yet they will read way out well before they throw codes they last about 75000km if the cars over 100000km they will be tired

I was going to say the same thing.
If you can disconnect the plug on the O2 sensor then you can change the sensor yourself, it's just like removing a spark plug. The price you were quoted for the sensors is also a little steep.

Where were these sold at? best ive found so far is $90 each, the aftermarkets were the only ones getting down 2 that price ive found.
