Secondary O2 sensor delete

[KawBoy]

Hello Everyone,

I need to use one of the secondary O2 sensors to connect an AFR gauge (need to install a Wideband O2 sensor there). Is it possible to "delete" that sensor so I don't have the "emissions malfunction" thing? I have an Akra Evo with Delete-R, if that matters, but disconnecting one of those sensor gives me the error.

Thank you.

I am assuming you just need the exhaust bung and not the electronic connector. Wouldn't leaving thr original sensor ziptied in place eliminate the disconnect error and the Delete R would cancel the out-of-range reading error?

We can provide a tune that would accomplish that without an error.

You are correct; I only need the bung in order to install a wideband sensor for the AFR reading. I was told what you just did; zip tie the OEM sensor somewhere and let Delete R taking care of it and install the wideband in its place.
Thank you for your input.

It sounds like a good option. Would you mind elaborating on this tune?

Thank you.

Delete-R cannot handle the ziptied O2 sensors; still have the error every so often for whatever reason. It does work well with the sensors plugged though.
Is coding an option?

Only option is a tune.

Nothing can be done about this with coding.

Add a bung. $5 part plus a little time and welding. Some company just came out with an add a bung no welding but you would still have to drill the hole. I forget the company.

I know nothing about coding and thought there would be an "on/off/0/1" option. Suggestions on tune? I am running all stock.

Thanks.

Rather not going that route; I don't know any good welder in my area, so I'd have to ship that exhaust tube to Dallas where I have a friend who is a really good welder and excellent at titanium. It looks like a tune is the way to go. I thank you for the input though.

I personally have AA because I had a very good price on it being done locally.

BPM seems to be the most popular on this forum, followed by AA/ESS. I'd do BPM if cost wasn't an issue and if I was still stock.
