I knew those gauges being that flat would come in handy to someone, eventually .:) On a serious note, PLEASE do not start the engine with the sensor already heated up like that. If you are already seeing readings or "- - - -" the sensor's CERAMIC element is already at the full 1200degF ( glowing orange hot ). Hitting it with a cold blast of start-up exhaust is like throwing cold water on a hot windshield. And, the effect is similar. Once the cracks form, over time, they spread with every heat cycle. Eventually, they hit something important. And, the sensor loses calibration, gets flaky, and stops working, altogether ( Usually, in that order ). It's sad that so many wideband sensors die this way :(
Thanks! The kit was $226.09 and it came from Summit Racing. Here is the link www.summitracing.com/parts/avm-30-0334 .I also had the O2 bung welded in by a muffler shop and it was $40. We have an instagram. Www.instagram.com/shortstackgarage
Thanks for the video. Can you give any other tips for getting the harness through the firewall grommet?

lordandprotector I appreciate the info. I didn’t know this, and I’ll make sure not to do it again. Last thing I want is to ruin a sensor.
Great videos. How much did the whole kit run you and do you have websites?
