I am using LS1 engine from VX model in a kit car. I found the O2 sensor wires cut in the loom, i rejoined them and installed the sensors, but i still have poor idling and power loss (assuming sensor issues) . A question of identification of the physical location of the sensors .. Does RH sensor relate to the vehicle RHS or the Engine RHS?.

Many thanks

sitting in drivers seat right is right and left is left, or bank 1 is Australian passenger side and bank 2 is Australian drivers side, just unplug a sensor and check to code make sure its also for the same side sensor then u know its wired right or not

o2 sensors are prone to fail and are pretty delicate and can be damaged if they get oil or stuff on them

Luckily they are fairly cheap

What colours are the wires, a wiring diagram should show the difference between them

Does it pull up a code?

I just looked in my Haynes manual, there's like 30 possible codes for the o2 sensors alone

As for the wire codes, my manual doesn't have the engine wiring harness , which is 5hit....

Thanks,
The O2 sensors were new when installed, so far no codes logged however as it isnt in the original car i cant see if there are faults occurring . I have just bought a diagnostic software package and will use it next week to check. At that time i will confirm wire colours. Before I reconnected the sensors I downloaded a pin out diagram for the computor. I will attach it to my next post
