I have a '75 1.8 FI car that originated in California. This car originally had an O2 sensor, but now it doesn't. I'm looking to replace that O2 sensor. I've been told that the O2 sensor hooked into some sort of relay which then ran back to the computer. First, is that correct? Second, does anyone have a photo of the O2 sensor hookup from the exhaust all the way to the computer? If there really is a relay in this scheme I could also use a picture or description of that relay too. Once I figure out what I'm looking for I'll try to find the parts. Thanks.

Repeat after me - No 914 has an O2 sensor, No 914 has an O2 sensor...
Its a thermocouple as mentioned. And its not a relay back there by the tailights, its a small computer that looks like a relay that controls it. Find the circuitry to better understand it on the last page of this document: http://bowlsby.net/914/WiringHarnesses/Har...ssis_1975-6.pdf Your rich at idle condition could be related to other things...have you checked? * Leaky MPS? * TS2 accurate? * Leaking fuel injectors or CSV? PS just found this photo on CL, its FS is you want it: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/pts/5515698159.html Attached image(s)
