Soldering O2 sensor wires

[Matt]

I was having a lively discussion with a buddy of mine about what to do if you have to repair/replace O2 sensor wires.

Any suggestion?

[quote=”Moose” post=20735]I’ve also been taught to never solder them. I’ve never really done the research as to why not to, but I was told that the sensor needs to draw fresh air from inbetween the wire strands to work properly, and the solder keeps it from drawing air. This was back in the day when one wire sensors were all you really encountered though, for what it’s worth.

It would be interesting to see if it makes a difference though.[/quote]
