MA has to run the cars on a dyno (unless AWD) and they run through the gears at full power trying to approximate a graph for acceleration and lift off. I hate it. They don't even give you a power reading at the end.

he was doing it for fun because he was stupid enough to not know what a bov looked like so instead he reved it to see if he could hear it. i was pretty heated.


i have no problem removing the sensor from the pipe but the wire clip is stuck. when we did the tbe install we tried to get it out for hours and it just wouldnt come. that alone is gonna cost a pretty penny

If you buy a universal sensor you can just get any mating pair of 3-or-more-pin connectors and wire them in. Maybe you could use a mating pair of trailer hitch connectors, and use a 4-wire oxygen sensor.

Are you sure you're dealing with the clip correctly? The little locking tab has to be lifted up, not pressed down, unlike many other connectors on the car. After that, you should be able to just firmly pull on the wires of the sensor (you don't have to be too careful since you're replacing the sensor anyway). And when reinstalling, smear some dielectric grease into the connector. The main purpose of the grease is to protect the contacts, but it can also help keep the connector housings from getting stuck.
