I Searched but could not find a diagram showing the correct wiring of the front 02 sensor to get the correct readings from the catalyctic converter .

Having burnt out the stockcat , i replaced it with a Aftermarket Metalcat stainless steel one , i was told that it was indestructable well after only 9000km it burnt out .
I have found a complete second hand stock RX8 exhaust and decided to put it back on , at least the original stock cat lasted for 57,000km , but i need to know how to correctly wire up the front 02 sensor as some of the wiring has melted and came off .

Any help greatly appreciated .

just your friendly neighborhhood Team talking his usual pointless shizit :lol2:

Thanks , is this the right diagram ? because i believe MM pointed out that the RX8 Manual was initially incorrect with the wiring diagram of the 02 sensor :shocking: :boink:

I thought the stock cat had a government mandated warranty?

I'd have a straight pipe fabricated to bolt in the cat position and swap in a cat for a few days just to pass emissions testing.

Of course it would be loud.. :)

Wired up rear O2 Sensor everything seemed fine i cleared the ECU after 3 km the car goes into limp mode engine light goes on :banghead:

Once again i let engine cool down reset ECU Start her up as soon as cat gets to a certain temperature she goes into limp mode .

Any one know what to do , have i wired up the sensor wrongly ?

You are trying to rewire the FRONT O2 sensor? The four-wire one?

Like Teams .pdf shows, the blue/orange and white/red wires go to the heater, you may have got the other two reversed, the colors are very similar (and I'm color blind...)

I am after the rear 02 sensor wiring , its shown on the diagram but is it correct ?

Front, back, I don't see your problem - they are both on Team's .pdf?

That is a page from the manual, and it's correct....

I'm also looking for the rear O2 sensor wire colors any help????pics diagrams ???

try 10 posts up for the answer.

i wish i knew what i was looking at

Fail...

OK, Team did the hard work in post #2, so I will explain.....

The square marked Front Sensor has 4 wires -

heater power, red/white
heater switched ground, light blue/orange
sensor in, violet
sensor out, pink

The square marked Rear Sensor has 4 wires -

heater power, red/white
heater ground, red
sensor in, yellow
sensor out, black/red

The black/red wire may be useful for an air/fuel meter. Don't fuck with any of the others.

Isn't the sensor before the cat going to be the most accurate reading, which would be the pink wire for the a/f gauge. correct?

is the sensor in the signal wire and the out the ground?
