Oxygen Sensor
Anyone ever sourced one locally for a resonable price? Gotta replace mine & not really keen to part with $250 to Mitsi Aus...

I got a universal one from fleabay (UK) for twenty quid delivered. Quite a few UK cars are wearing these now and they work fine.
You need a four wire one like this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/OXYGEN-O2-SENSOR ... dZViewItem and it takes about 20 minutes to fit.

So you just cut the original plug off & rewire into it or just wire the new sensor into the cars socket?

Hm, I thought my car just needed a tune but now that you bring this up I begin to wonder. How can I diagnose it for sure? My fuel economy has dropped significantly over the past 3 weeks.Bennoz wrote:Idle is a bit funny & it pings pretty bad when under load (low rpm)

Take it to your local Mitsubishi dealer & get them to hook it up to the matrix...noccers wrote:Hm, I thought my car just needed a tune but now that you bring this up I begin to wonder.

Well I got one. Paid a little more cause I needed it today. Same one as you I think Bigpitty - to suit Galant 6A12. My local Auto One (love that shop ) were kind enough to get it in for me on the same day, cost me $88.
For anyone whos interested, its a ACA brand, Part Number: OX204
If anyone wants a DIY let me know, I'll be swapping it out tomorrow.

Make sure you blast it with wd40 as soon as you can - for a few days preferably!
The FTO one shouldnt be too bad as it wouldnt get too hot. On on my old turbo lancer) I had to heat the thing up with a blow torch and used a 4 meter breaker bar to get it off! I ended up taking off the manifold.
Used a small one at first and it wouldnt budge. Kept having to find pipes until I got the biggest longest steel pipe I could find in the garage!

I hear ya! She was on REAL tight. Fortunately it was only about 18 months ago I had my exhaust done so they had to remove & reinstall it then - so she wasnt to badly burnt in.
Now Im finding its only cured half the problem... the other sensor (the one behind the cat) is about gone too! When I swap it out I'll do a full guide. Apart from getting them out its not a hard job. Using a generic replacement, you do have to cut the plug off the factory one & solder it to the new sensor, but the wire colours are standardized so you know what to solder where.
