mwiener2 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 :)Thank you for the fix.my car left me on the way to work on a Saturday... crap my Cobb Up Pipe. Cool story bro. This mod, and the associated trouble code, would not cause any of the problems you described. I'm afraid you have a different, more serious problem. TS has the O2 sensor after the turbo because the gasses from all 4 only mix for the first time in the turbo. Otherwise they would need 2 sensors, one for each bank. Also, JDM knows the O2 works better post turbo. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFTER I DID THE MOD i reset the ecu and the car runs fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 i reset the ecu and the car runs fine. That's what fixed it, not the resistor. P1544 does not cause the car to go into any kind of limp or failsafe mode.

HellShadow70 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) read my initial post and analyze it. when the car cut off i used my ap to reset the ecu. the only code was a p1544. when i got to my friends shop he checked the car and the code was p1544 he reset the ecu and the car was still the same. when i installed the resistance and the ecu was reset the check engine light was off and the car has bin running fine. so can you explain this to me?

mwiener2 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yes. You have another underlying problem and in the process of doing this mod, it went away. Don't worry, it'll be back sometime. But it wasn't because of your EGT sensor. Bring your car out to Colorado and I'll diagnose and fix it for you. Until then, maybe give the car the keyboard.

HellShadow70 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 My dog has the keyboard. I'm using my phone, but the next time i visit Colorado ill pass buy your shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTwrestler22 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 What bolt will i need to take the sensor's place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 On a cleared stock 05-06 UP? - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTwrestler22 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yeah i just broke the weird ass cord and metal piece off and the sensor itself off and screwed it back in and made sure there were no unwanted pieces in the up. Will that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 So you de-catted the UP? If not, don't take out the EGT sensor. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTwrestler22 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 yes im stage 2 and i just got a CEL which is weird cause ive been stage 2 w/ the egt for a couple months and the cel just came on so i did it. Decatted stock up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that work? Yes - But I'm not sure whether it would leak with everything broken-off on both sides of the bung. yes im stage 2 and i just got a CEL which is weird cause ive been stage 2 w/ the egt for a couple months and the cel just came on so i did it. Decatted stock up And you are using the resistor? If yes, check your resistor connection, if no, get one on there quick. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTwrestler22 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yeah im using a 2.2k ohm resistor and im 99% sure that bolt should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattsl Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hmmm, perfect. Found the thread that will help me get started. Good to know about this. Looks like I'll be doing a UP/DP plus a tune soon. Most of you are saying more throttle response which is nice. Any noticeable exhaust tone change? Stock cans.

Inspector Gadget Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks for taking the time to do the write-up. I'll be stopping by my local Radio Shack on my way home this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt06unlimited Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 LAGT, can this same process be applied to all the sensors in the exhaust stream provided i know the resistance of each sensor? Only asking because im planning on completing my exhaust with catless up and dp in the next couple weeks and losin all the egt/o2 sensors. Thanks!

LosAngelesLGT Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 If you have no o2 sensors how is your motor going to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05wagongt Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If you have no o2 sensors how is your motor going to run? maybe put a spacer on the pipes so it still gets a reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Catless DP should still have an o2 sensor bung. ECU needs that reading. Catless does not equal sensorless. EGT sensor is pointless with no cat to monitor in the UP location. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewZ Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 As mentioned, you need the forward (wideband) o2 sensor for fuel adjustments. The rearward sensor is for emissions. Using RomRaider & Ecuflash you can easily just disable the rear sensor and avoid a CEL if you don't have a cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt06unlimited Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 ok, so as long as i use the resistor for the up pipe sensor, i can leave the downpipe sensor the way it is without hurting anything? all ill have to do is reflash the ecu and my CEL will go away? just wanna be absolutely clear on this is all thanks for your patience.

Markbo Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ok.. bad place for a sensor. Could damage turbo. Do this when stage 2 and up pipe replaced. All good. Nobody has staed...what do you plug the bung hole with? If it should be rekoved you dony want to leave an open hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
