thanks man, there is no way possible to get it out, its rusted, rounded and completely f%@#! guess its getting circumsised.....

i aint used that silly thing that goes into the CAT for ages

I just tucked the sensor up somewhere and its been there for yerars

[HRthirtyone]

sweet! yer i just spoke to a mate, he explained it very technically!!!!!!

"yeh a temp sensor on the zorst aint gonna do shit n e way! whats it gonna do? get real hot then do something to stop you thrashing it? i dont think so!"

hahahhhhhhh

It just activates the dash light if the exhaust is really hot, like if the cat was clogged for instance.

Wouldn't worry about it to much.

If you remove it you dont have to earth the sensor out or even keep the sensor. It only goes closed circuit when its really hot, so you can leave it unplugged altogether and the warning light won't come on.

i cut mine off it was stuck and i havent had any problems with it

[PlasticStan]

I had the same problem on mine, I used a blow torch to heat it up and it came out no problem. I had to use a pair of vice grips because someone had rounded the hex off in a previous attempt at removal.

standard ecu or not it doesn't matter mate. all it does it light the "do not park on long grass" light on the dash aka the flamming hotdog light. it has no effect on any of the following:

AFR

Boost

Timing

Anything at all other than that warning light.
