Quick shielded wire question

[capowered240]

Will this wire work to use for the o2, afm, and det sensor. When I extended the o2 and the afm, I didn't use shielded wire. I searched and read somewhere that when extending those wires, you have to use shielded wire.

Sure, that wire will work fine...any shielded wire will work as long as it can handle the minimal power flow for the sensors. 16ga is a bit overkill IMO, but yeah - it should work fine. You can also just get some for free out of an old harness... I have a few partial harnesses laying around I can cut some out of for you if you want for free(maybe even with a connector attached if needed)... email me if interested [email protected] !

Alright, thanks for the reply. I'll keep you in mind if I need any. I got 20 ft. of that wire so that should be enough.

Since the o2 and afm wires aren't shielded, would that throw off the readings? When I turn the ecu in mode 1 instead of the green light blinking 9 times or more within 10 seconds, The green light stays on for like 10 sec. then goes off for like 5 sec. It just continues to do that. brand new o2 sensor. Also the engine temp. sensor is new.
