Hey my car is sounding like doo doo im pretty sure its an exhaust leak but would that effect response too? because my pedal doesnt feel as responsive since its been sounding that way.

 

It would screw up your o2 sensors and make them think its running lean and add more fuel. The added fuel will make it run like pooh. If you dont fix it fast enough, you can lose a o2 sensor also

 

im hoping i can just patch it cause i dont have the $$ for a whole exhaust

 

It could be something as simple as a blown gasket. If you wait and let the car cool (so you can touch the exhaust), you can then start the car and take your hand and feel around for the leak. That is if you dont have a visual of the leak

 

ight ill try that i just replaced an o2 sensor too wouldnt feel like doing it again.

 

since we're on this 02 sensor subject can we use universal ones and just splice it in? bishop said we can't but i have to hear it from the cincy : )

 

The only differnce is one has the clip installed and charged like $40 more it. As long as its a compatable o2, you can cut and splice the new o2 on the old clip. Takes me all of 5min to solder 4 wires and that includes the time for the iron to get hot.

 

yea you can use the universal bosch one i did it on my car its so easy and works fine

 

Ohhhh I lost both my 02 Sensors from a leak, My car has sounded like **** for 3 Months. Grrrrrrrrrrrr
