ripped_fear Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So if I do cut it could be replaced if I ever wanted to re fit a cat. just plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor69 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I was led to believe that if cut it would show or register some kind of warning/fault, mine has been tied up for over a year now. Grind the tops of the bolts off to get it off the cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well done for preserving. So is the O2 sensor in tact and its just the plastic plug at the end of the cable that's broken? The cat temp sensor wife can be cut, just make sure it doesn't touch the underside of the car or you will get the cat overheat light come up, so just make sure you insulate the conductor and tuck it out of the way.

I managed to remove the temp sensor probe in the end so will insulate it and tie it out the way with some metal tie clips. Yes the sensor is intact but the plug has ripped of the wire.

ripped_fear Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Is this the one I need? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Supra-Lexus-GS300-GS430-Oxygen-Sensor-89465-30470-8946530470-/310911535588?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4863c589e4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a single wire on an na, follow the cable from the other one and you will see where it plugs into, then once you know what you are looking for, look on the other side for one of the same plug and sockets. Unplug the plug and you should be able to pick it to pieces and re-make the connection. Worse case scenario, strip back the end of the sensor wire and connect it to the other side of the socket where you will see a single wire exiting. If you like and can wait I can take some pics from the Carmel's NA, but wont be until tomorrow eve, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 No that's not a direct replacement. But Jake, if its just the plug thats come off the end of the lead then you don't actually have to replace it, its salvageable. Hang on and I will find you the direct replacement.

ripped_fear Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 think the problem I may have is I cant find the damn plug anywhere, recon it blew away before I noticed I pulled it off. If you have a link to a direct replacement that isnt to expensive I may just buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Don't even CONSIDER a job at Quik Fit, for God's sake..... I used to do de cats while people waited, if I didn't succeed I'd be sharing my bed with 'em. I always succeeded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 don't worry I will happily stick to my zoo work. Lol. Would like to point out it would have been a lot easier if I had access to a ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 A ramp is a Godsend of course, as are top quality single hex wobble sockets and oxy-acetylene gear. I have still been left cursing, sweating and bloody knuckled. Not a fun job when every damned nut seemed to have a personal vendetta against you.

I have still been left cursing, sweating and bloody knuckled. Not a fun job when every damned nut seemed to have a personal vendetta against you. Yeah my tool collection is limited but not too bad. Been trying to replace everything as I go with halfords advance stuff, as it seems good quality and doesn't break the bank. Managed to fill one tool cabinet. Its good to know that even with the correct kit it can be a sod of a job. Tbh now its all off once I find an o2 sensor to order (that I need to find today) hopefully it should be easy now Bolting it all back up.

Shane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I had a couple of work calls last night and then it got too late to start looking. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OBX-Oxygen-O2-Sensor-92-94-LEXUS-GS300-SC300-3-0L-L6-2JZGE-/121444430620?hash=item1c46a6f31c Sadly that ones in the US. I cant see from the photo if this is a 2 wire one, if it is its not a massive issue as one wire just needs to be grounded, but that then makes it not a direct fit that I know you are looking for. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1x-Denso-Lambda-Sensors-DOX-0110-/321320636430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Plat_Gen%3AJZA80&hash=item4ad033d00e Will continue to look when I get a bit more time.

Shane Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Jake, Give these guys a call. I have used them before and they are pretty good. But what concerns me is that they may supply the part you need but without the plug that you haven't got. I will have a look this evening to see if I have a spare plug on an old sensor, I may. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Green-Spark-Plug-Co/Lambda-Oxygen-Sensors-/_i.html?_fsub=3325436011&_sid=764494581&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 Edited May 6, 2015 by Shane (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks mate. Just looked and it says to leave 14 days for delivery. I will ring Steve In a mine and see what he can do. If its a similar price to that I will just order one I think. Thanks for the help if you do get chance and find another link. Feel free to post thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
