o2 sensor (pics inside!)

hey,

im currently having trouble with my o2 sensor thats located beneath/beside the cat itself . yesterday, we installed a megan hi flow race cat properly and eventually the o2 sensor wiring snapped (view pics for details) due to poor design of the product. now i was wondering if this repairable? if yes, how? does it matter which wire goes into which hole? any help/comments/opinions/thoughts are welcome. i really dont wanna pay a measly $40 for some bs product

thanks,
Tommy

it is repairable but you need to know where the wires go. one of the wires came out of my o2 sensore got a very small flat head screw driver, and poped back in. when u put them back in. your going to want to listen for a lil pop that means its in all the way.

ehh

i brought it to my personal honda/acura mechanic and he told me he has no problem fixing the wirings or plugs/connectors. the problem with it to him is just the o2 sensor itself but i dont know the problem with it. so only choice i have is ordering it from honda already placed a purchase for $40.

yes the sensors were not disconnected when the pipe was installed only unscrewed and screwed into the new pipe,,
i have just disconnected the battery for a while and reconnected it and hey presto the light is out ,,
i am told it will come back again and need to get a 02 simulator for the second sensor, this will sort it apparently??

if you installed the cat recently and the light came on after couple days. i THINK the malfunction indicator light will turn off after couple days or week(s). i remember reading this on the forums on this site before..

i installed my megan hi flow cat about 2-3 weeks ago and the light went on today morning. how ironic.. im gonna wait couple days or week hoping it will disappear.
