I dont know if anyone has covered this but if u end up lengthening the wires, make sure you make note of the increase in resistance and therefore the drop in current. If i was doin it, i would calculate it all out and make sure everything is getting the proper amount of power because even the slightest drop in amps can make electronics not function properly. So u might have to rewire and increase the wire size

How much did that cost?

Nice! That is exactly what I want to do.

Yeah, Im talking to a guy on another forum who seems to be pretty knowledgeable about car electronics and wiring. He said that the honest increase or decrease in resistance from lengthening or shortening the wires would be negligible. I think, more than likely, as long as wires to each sensor are lengthened by the same amount there shouldnt be any issue. It probably only becomes a big issue if there were different resistances to the same sensor.

The stuff from AutoZone was only like $15 I think.

I did it to a fox body and I had no issues. Just do it right, which I know you will and you will have no issues.

I just dont know if I have the patience for doing a full tuck. I'd love to, but in the end, I've got exposed coils and the wiring to the coils that has to stay, plus the PCM and fuse block that I dont really want to relocate. With all that stuff having to stay in place, I just dont see the point in half assing it, you know? Im kinda rambling so Idk if Im making sense.

Plus, I'd have to do each sensor individually and make sure everything worked one at a time to keep from having a shitty day troubleshooting should something go wrong. Its times like these where I say to myself, "I shoulda just bought a Honda". hahaha
