Kind of an odd question but I have a wideband O2 sensor installed I've been using to dial in carbs using my laptop with Logger3 installed for the gauge. I'm going to drive the car on a moderately long trip next week and don't want to leave the cable snaked through the engine lid and targa top when I drive.
I think it was McMark who said the sensors don't like to be installed and uninstalled too many times so I'm wondering if there is any harm in leaving the sensor in place but disconnecting from power and tying the cable out of the way in the engine bay, or should I remove the sensor completely. Is there any harm in leaving the sensor installed by not connected? |
