alright so heres the story.

i parked the car at a buddies house and when i fired it up to drive somewhere it just ran like absolute crap, idle like s***, no power etc...

ecu is throwing code 33 (O2 sensor code) so i decided to toss in the new sensor and hook up my AEM UEGO wideband gauge at the same time.

I've checked quite a few different things and i'm pretty sure its still the o2 sensor (I reset the ecu and its still throwing the code). It also gave me a code 45 ( leaky injector) when it first started messing up, but i pulled the fuel rail, no leaks.

I guess the UEGO system might not be hooked up right but i dont know how. power and ground are fine and i'm running the white wire from the gauge to pin 19 on my ecu connector. I have tried all 5 modes on the gauge, no difference.

anyone know whats up? thanks in advance

I need to get this b**** running again so i can get emmisions done and go ka-t...

heres a link to the video, help much appreciated.

edit: car runs the same with the o2 sensor disconnected, so i think thats the issue. just cant figure out what i'm doing wrong.

Have you checked the engine with a vacuum gauge yet?

have not done that yet. would a vacuum leak cause it to suddenly run like crap though? I'm pretty sure the issue is the o2 sensor because it runs exactly the same with it disconnected...

well to update, i tossed in a new oem style universal sensor and hooked up all the stock wiring and I got nothing... still runs the same when disconnected too.

Shouldn't having the o2 sensor disconnected affect how it runs?

I also think I've found a dead injector, so I'll be replacing that once i get to the junk yard. Would this alone cause my problem? I tossed one of my new 550s in just to see what it would do but it didn't really seem to help anything. its definitely the injector though, I swapped it with the one next to it and pulling the harness on that one still did nothing...

try advancing the timeing a little and check your fuel filter(blow threw it) and check the sock on the fuel pump

The UEGO is a wideband, it shouldn't hook up to your ECU at all. Check your o2 sensor wiring with a multimeter.

Did you put the uego in where the factory o2 was and throw the factory one out and leave the harness unplugged???
