Does anyone know where the Cat temp sensor wires enter the cabin on a 2 seater? I need to trace the wires back as far as i can. Save pulling both seats out and looking for the two wires under the carpet, I'm hoping someone has a lead...
Sort of correct Chrispy. The box is under the armrest. But they enter under the drivers seat floor to the side near the transmisssion tunnel
Agreed, all they do is turn on a light to say ... hey all that extra fuel being dumped into your exhaust is burning out your cats
I need to trace the wires back before I cut them. I require the EGT+heat shielded wire remain intact as much as possible. Any idea where the heat shielding stops? As soon as it goes into the cabin? Cheers for the advice too.
The sheilded wire continues all the way to the box under the arm rest. I am going to replace mine one day with the spare I have tucked away as the wire is all crapped out under the car. Basically if you want a full removal, you unscrew the sensors, pull back the carpet, pop the grommet inside, remove the console, unscrew the box and unplug it. It actually takes a while to get it out in one pce. Or you could just hack the bugger out with a pair of cutters.
Thanks tekky, just what I needed to know. Situation I find myself in is with a set of stock cats (thanks to Vader ex tektrader) which have the stock EGT bungs in them. Currently, EGT probes have been hacked, and a EPA inspection could consider the EGT's as a feedback system for pollution control. I cannot risk this, so need an install that is on the level.. As musch as I'd like to just cut 'em off and do it dodgy.
