What did you do today to your 3/S?

Snapped my window regulator last night... was a cold drive home :(

I knew it was coming and I had just ordered a replacement yesterday. So I'm rockin the 2x4 for now, lol.

Newer O2 sensors breathing through their wires is a good reason to be careful how you solder the wires. I'm not 100% sure why an O2 sensor needs to breathe anyway, anyone here with better info on this?

I had soldered both of mine, and they both read together and with my wideband. :dontknow:

The outside of the bulb is exposed to the hot gases in the exhaust while the inside of the bulb is vented internally through the sensor body to the outside atmosphere. Older style oxygen sensors actually have a small hole in the body shell so air can enter the sensor, but newer style O2 sensors "breathe" through their wire connectors and have no vent hole. It's hard to believe, but the tiny amount of space between the insulation and wire provides enough room for air to seep into the sensor (for this reason, grease should never be used on O2 sensor connectors because it can block the flow of air)

I'm pretty sure a big factor is whether you do it before or after the connector (harness or o2 side). I did mine harness side.

This is what I'm thinking. At least 6" away from the sensor and even better if on the other side of a connector. Which also makes more sense because it's easier to disconnect as needed.

If it doesn't go which I don't expect anyone to be serious enough to come and get it I'm just going to scrap it. The market royally sucks.


I ended up swapping in 1000cc injectors on the Stealth. It definitely helped my fueling needs but now I have this weird hesitation around 4k rpms where the car has a hard time accelerating and then just takes off so I'm not exactly sure what that is. I couldn't turn up the boost past 18 psi either so I bet there's some leaks.

If you were closer I'd potentially be interested in your silver 1st gen.

this is what I've been attempting to tell you guys :p I'm talking sensor side! :p

This is what I got to do today, luckily its not mine but a customers car

I get that a lot. Lol.


I got my E85 Walbro fuel pump in today. I'll probably install it this weekend even though I don't need it since it was my injectors that were maxed because now I'm seeing pegged 10.0:1 AFRs WOT.

Oil change, switched back to oem crank pulley, new belt, camber adjustment.

Swapped tensioner pulley for probably the 4th time. The source of this random chirping is playing hard to get. I've already replaced every single thing that spins on the DS lol.
