Question about one of my sensors.

Hi, i have a 94cavalier, running fine, my alternator broke a couple of months ago and after having it replaced the check engine light kept coming on, but only after i drove it for alittle while, finally managed to come to the conclusion that it was an oxygen sensor, it is right up front by the fan and its got maybe an 8inch wire which looks like it got unplugged, and i just cant figure out where to plug it back into. any help would be much appreciated

the wire does not plug into the sensor. the wire has a plug a little up the wire. if it is seperated at the sensor you will need to replace it.

well it comes out of part of the engine, and then it ends in a clip looks like a little cone with some peice of metal or something on the inside. i figured i would have to plug that into somewhere. other then that its just coming out of the enging and hanging

This is what it looks like.

yea and the clip that is at the top fo that picture is the thing that is just dangling, can anyone tell me where i can find what to attach this to.

there shoudl be another plug under there somewhere! As the wire should link to your PCM!

i know. i cant find that other wire. i was basically asking anyone else with a cavi if they could trace it and tell me general direction to look for the other wire.

2.2 i'm guessing! I'll see if I can find out for you!

yes its a 2.2 and id really appreciate it

look at your harness... there should be another wire either dangling with a matching plug on the end or its at tangled up and wrapped around something... it really should be hard at all there arent many places for the wire to go

well i did do a brief scan and im not going to be able to actually get down and look heavily for another week but if someone could just check their wire and tell me where theirs goes, it would make my life easier. thanks

go to the right of your header and it should be close to your battery or thats how mine is

still not finding it. can you describe what im looking for to plug this onto? and also, is it at the same height as the battery or does it sit lower

Below the battery, where all those crap loads of wires are!
