02 sensor and cat question?
Hey when I do a tune up on my camaro pretty soon, im going to get new plugs and wires, prob msd 8.5mm wires and ac/delco platinum plugs, but I am also going to replace my 02 sensor by my cat and was wondering which one I need, Is that the pre-cat or post-cat 02 sensor, is it a heated sensor or regular o2 sensor and how many cats are on our ls1's? I just want to know for general information. thanks I appreciate it.

well which o2 sensor do you want to replace? you have 4 of them. 1 on each header, 1 pre cat, 1 post cat. so to answer your question you have 1 cat. And why are you changing just one?

LS1s have 2 cats.
1 o2 sensor in front and 1 behind each cat.
-driver side front o2 is in the manifold, rear is in the cat pipe
-pass side front is in the cat pipe, rear o2 also in the cat pipe if i recall correctly
They are all 4 wire O2s
as for placement they are interchangeable as far as i know, just some have longer wiring leads. My car has no cats or rear O2s anymore, no sims even. they are just turned off in my pcm. And i dont need cats anymore for state inspection.

The front ones are a flat four wire connector. The rear ones are a square 4 wire connector. Also, are they broken? For the cost I wouldnt replace them until they fail and you throw a code. GM charges around $79 each.

Every Camaro 1996 and newer have 2 cats and require 4 o2 sensors, the after cat is most likely to burn out, the heated sensor is something ive never heard of..all i can say is do the work yourself cause a dealer will **** you....and also do your research on your plugs cause sometimes those iridium and titanium plugs can actually do damage instead of help. I know this because I used to own a turbo eclipse (ik ik) and they very pickey on the right type of plugs to use.
Also as you know, an ignition tune up, especially a plug and wire tune up is near impossible, don't do it unless you really want to spend 10 hours removing the plug from cylinder #8

ahaha, all im worried about is getting the proper spark with the correct plug to use, I dont care about the super deluxe 10 pronged quadripple max spark enchancement. Its just that I have never changed my plugs and its been way over due...the reason im getting new wires is for the look of the color, the red MSD wires look cool, I dont expect and gains in power except better starts and maintianing proper sparkto each cylinder.
