| I think you should start by hooking up your second o2 sensor correctly. Even if it's not causing your problem, it's still affecting your a/f ratios. 1 controls 1&4, and the 2nd 3&4, so you're not getting the correct a/f ratios in one set. Hook it up to the ecu directly like it needs, then see if you still have the same problems. It's worth doing either way. And yes, PW0's are not excluded from having problems with the second o2 not being hooked up(some pr3's and pw0's are not having that problem though, I don't know what makes the difference). Even though, i've heard the problems are performance of driving, not starting issues, but....... |
