scottieboi94 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My Lambda sensor wire has snapped on the wiring loom side, My plan is to splice the 2 wires together and not use the connectors, but i need an extra bit of wire to connect both wires together, what type of wire can I use as a substitute for lambda sensor wire?

scottieboi94 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Its snapped rite at the start of the wiring loom connector so the connector is useless now, just need to know what type of wire i can use as sensor wire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 IIRC you are not supposed to soldier the lambda wire it need to be crimped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scottieboi94 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I am just going to use them blue connectors which i use for splicing speaker wire etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Solder the wire back into the connector Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 How there is no wire left on the connector to solder to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There should be a rubber but around the wire in the connector take that out and then solder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just going to splice it with one of them blue connectors I think mate, would that be alright? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Use spades on it then so ya don't have to cut it if it needs to be disconnected for whatever reason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Yes! this guy is a legend! ^^^ was thinking about a kind of alternate connector as i'm always taking my decat on/off etc, but thought a blue splice connector would be the easiest option, but spades would be a lot better, cheers mate Edited January 21, 2014 by scottieboi94 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richardc9052 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Once you go into open loop (on boost/wot) it shouldn't make a difference bud. If your still down on power there you have other problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
