oxygen sensor removal

[danny tattersall]

Is there anybody out there that can tell me how I disconnect the oxygen sensor wires on a Esprit Turbo SE? The wires disappear through a bulkhead on the left hand side of the car and I can not see where the breakpoint is.

Thanks in advance,

Danny.

I haven't taken them apart myself, but from what I understand, the connector is behind the left "shelf". Pull the shelf out and you should see it.

I can confirm.

There isn't enougth free cable for you to pull far enougth to get to the plug. You will see it easy with the side panel out thougth.

Will most likley give you a call over the weekend. I've not been in Manchester for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for that guys - I guess I will have to look again. It has been a while since I last had that side panel out and I can not recall seeing the oxygen sensor connector plug. I have bought a cat replacement pipe and will need to work out how to disconnect the sensor before I can fit it.

Gareth - look forward to hearing from you when you get a chance. Would love to see how the car turned out post re-spray and virtual re-build!

As I recall the plug is behind the black fiberglass carpeted panel (on mine the hole had a thin rubber grommet). The hole in the panel is too small to remove the entire plug. You have to disconnect each electrical lead with a service tool and pull the wires out that way.

Please rember to WRITE DOWN THE WIRE COLOURS AND THEIR LOCATION (on the plug). As I recall, the wires from the loom are of different colours to the wires attatched to the oxygen sensor.
