OBDII lambda sensor thread

[p0l1wrath 10]

Hello,

i purchased a stainless exhaust manifold recently but didnt realise OBDI and OBDII manifolds are different, me having an OBDI car and the manifold being OBDII, i need to plug the, what i can assume are the lambda sensor wholes

 

Does anyone know or can anyone find out the lambda sensor thread, so i can make sure i get something that fits correctly?

 

Cheers :)

Lambda sensor thread size is M18 x 1.5.

Wicked mate :) do you know the depth by any chance? I want the plug sitting flush :)

OBD 1&2 Inlet Manifolds are different.

 

Exhaust manifolds are the same.

So your Lambda should fit fine! It's OBD1 right?

 

If not you will have problems as the lambda sensors have different electrical plugs between OBD 1&2.

OBD 1 plug has squarish corners.

OBD 2 plug has rounded connector.

I've used OBD2 lambda on my OBD1 car and just swapped the connector over.

Ignore that, I miss read your first post!

I thought the second hole was for another lamdba sensor for an afr gauge.

From memory my plug blank was 15mm long on the the treads.

 

How bout;

M18 x 1.5 O2 Lambda Sensor Blanking Plug Bung Bolt

Cheers mate yeh they look wicked, might just have to be a bolt and some gun gum though because I need it done! They won't come in times cheers though

Yeah, mines a bolt. No gum though, just a copper washer.

Does this mean that the OBD1 lambda will work correctly with OBD2 if the connectors are swopped over?

Same sensor, different plug.

Excellent, thanks. Science you certainly are the OBD2 guru :)

right, next problem, i have some connector removal tools (even the blue VW one) but cant get the pins out of the connector. Is there any other way to do it without totally butchering the connector?
