Subject:2nd O2 Sensor in Cat?
From:Jay L Snyder
Date:Mon, 11 Feb 2002 15:59:17 -0500

I have one of the Bus Depot catalytic converters that has the  hole for an
O2 sensor (it comes witha threaded plug).  I have thought of installing a
second O2 sensor in there for diagnostic purposes.  I assume this location
would give a reasonable reading, as it is on the inlet side of the cat?
The plug is probably impossible to get out now, but I may put a wrench on
it the next time I am under there.  It would be nice to run a wire up front
and read the voltage output as you are driving.  I have done this with the
stock one, but you  get steadier readings with it disconnected from the ECU
and that kind of defeats the purpose.   Anyone already done this?
