300zx z32 non turbo

 

when i removed the exhausts for repairs and replaced cat back with turbo exhausts i had trouble removing 2 sensors from the cat.

 

so like an idiot i am cut through the braided wires coming down through the floor around the center consol.

 

so my question......

 

how would NOT reconnecting these sensors effect the running and ecu stuff.

not too bothered about lack of proformance of fuel consumption

but more importantly, would the co level and all that be ok to pass an MOT ?

 

what do people do with these wires when they fit them pipes instead of cats ?

 

 

 

Thanks

They are cat overheat sensors, best solution would have been to tie them out of the way, not cut them.

 

I think by cutting them the car thinks they have overheated and you get the dash warning light. Not 100% on that.

Thanks for your reply ollie,

 

I dont remember there being any warning light visable, however the car has been off the road for 3 years.

 

I know i shouldnt have cut them.. i tend to do stupid regratable things like that.

 

I am not just curious if the car thinking cats are hot will alter emissions of things like that.

 

of i could atempt to join the wires together again.

just poke them back through the floor and forget about um mate :p

Yeah, no real harm done, they're not connected to the ECU at all.

Great, thanks everyone.
