Just cause he reset it doesnt mean its fixed...and no its gonna "hurt" the car but you need to get it fixed. And a question what did you cut and splice? The new connecter on the o2 or the wiring harness side?

YEA...IM AN ASSHOLE
I hope you didn't go splicing cables as Autozone "suggested".....
You will be better served if you call the dealership closest to you and ask them for your Air/Fuel sensor rather than having some Autozone guy try to figure it out for you. As Derek and I have said a couple of times, they LOOK the same, but they are NOT the same. They don't even have the same part number. If the Autozone guys only have 1 part number for what you're asking.....as Bill Engle says....."theeeerrreee's you sign!!".
BTW, please do NOT go cut and splicing anything in that harness....PLEASE!!!!! If you don't want a perpetual CEL, do NOT cut into the harness. The right sensor will plug right in w/o any cutting. Again, that's your first sign.
You know you can reset the ECU yourself, right?
...u could run rich and burn up the cat or run lean as hell and burn up ur motor...an o2 sensor needs to cycle 8 times in 10 seconds between 0 and 1 volt while a a/f sensor stays constant at 3.3v, i think that could cause a problem. not to mention they may be more susceptible to rfi now that the wires have been tampered with. did u say u had one in for a year and it never gave u a problem? if thats so then they might have given u the right part but the heated circuit might have gone bad possibly due splicing wires. an o2 sensor needs to get to like 800 degrees fahrenheit before it goes into closed loop so sometiems they put a little heater core in there to speed up the time it takes for it to heat up which is the code u threw. either way, i think it was well stated that u should never cut and splice that stuff and parts guys are dumbfucks...right now i cant get this car done at work bc i have been sent the wrong calipers 3 timesOriginally Posted by dereksi
good luck though
