What is that plug under the exhaust manifold? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My ECU is reading a rear o2 sensor circuit malfunction and I can't find the rear o2 sensor on my cat. My car is 95, ODB2 and I initially thought it was ODB1 so I changed the front o2 sensor but the engine light came back on. Can someone tell me what that plug is? I checked the FSM but without success.

I was at an autobody at first and the guy told me that plug is the rear o2 sensor.. I think he's bullshitting.. because the rear o2 should be right there but I can't find the slot after my cat! WTF. I can't find the rear o2 wire either. Thanks.

OBD 1 only have 1 o2 sensor. obd 2 have 2. one on the manifold and one on or after the cat. the plug you were looking at is for air injection.

Your first two pics show an S13 exhaust manifold and downpipe. The last picture is an S14 downpipe/cat.

S13 only have one O2 sensor. So if those two first pics are your S14, you need to find another manifold/downpipe, or weld another O2 bung on.
