I bet. Also a dumb but we are talking about the 02 sensor by the turbo not the one on the downpipe right.

Yeah, the one that goes right into the O2 housing off the turbo. I can't figure out how to get it out. I was gonna pull it out so it doesn't get caught when i drop the turbo out...

Its coming out with the turbo, lol.

I'm at 19.5k miles been tuned since about 1k. Still on stock plugs which are fine and have had no engine issues besides the oil leak by the camshaft sensor that every one gets.

Steddy2112 will post that I never go over 4k rpm, he makes a comment every time I post about different plugs.

BYT knows better, he's seen some of my logs.

I've been tuned since about 8k I think and pulled the stock plugs at 21k trying to address a KR issue that is ongoing. Stock plugs looked fine also.

90 MPD DD, purchased in 8/08 and I have ~29k on it now. It sits at home during extreme snow days.

:scratch:

I say run stock plugs/iridiums.

I didn't have success with running a lot of timing, a lot of boost and a platinum plug.

Every time I would get on it, car would misfire.

Ask Maven. He was with me a few times when it happened.

And I replace my plugs every other oil change.

Which is 10k miles or if I start knocking.

ZOMG!

That is right on cue with everyone else!

How about that.

The Front O2 is simple to change, you need a O2 socket tho

Took me 3 maybe 4 mins to change it. Its right on top, fairly easy to get to. The plug is attached to the side of the valve cover

That plug is NOT easy to get to! Or maybe it's just the fact that my friend had a bigger turbo set up... Race gas is definitely not friendly to these though.

LEADED race gas isnt friendly. They do make Unleaded race gas, I run 108 unleaded at the track.

Edit: And that plug is very easy to get to with the right tools. Easy enough I did the job in under 5 mins....

Also to note to anyone getting ready to change the plugs - do not get standard style plugs. Only go with the OE style fine-wire type. Otherwise you will get lots of misfires!

What are other engine symptoms of a dying WB02? Does the WB02 just go out or does it start to give erratic or wrong readings?

Well, I bought my car in Feb, and deployed in May (7th to be exact), and before I deployed I had 22k on my car. My car has been tuned for 13k and I have no problems at all with mine, not even a rough idle or hiccup.

Look in where the oil filter is, then just above it. I had some oily residue there and eventually a puddle by the oil filter.
