So I've had my rear oxygen sensors plugged in the whole time, didn't think it would cause any problems.  However after reading a post by Nehalem I saw he noted that the rear sensors even with the deletes cause wacky readings for the primary o2s.  After unplugging them and reseting the ECU, I have almost doubled my gas mileage and my car has so much more low end torque, I'm very happy.  Thought I would post this for anyone else who is catless and can barely breath in their car and are blowing through gas.

Just an FYI I have seen something similar happen when EGTS are coded out but left plugged in. Caused weird readings on my primary o2s when logging the car

Rear EGTS?

If rear O2's are coded out completely and properly, then they will have no effect at all.

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information going around. I think the wiki needs updating. I just read through the entire "emissions delete and setting actual readiness" thread. Very helpful.

Believe me the rear O2s are coded out properly, and without them unplugged they are heavily effecting my fuel curve near idle, it was running very rich.  I don't believe you can unplug the EGTs even though they are coded out or i would.

Have you modified CLRHK and CDLATV? CWKONLS? ESKONF?

EGT's can be removed if done properly.

So rear o2 sensors (properly coded out, but still hooked up) can cause you to run rich?

No, that was my point originally.

My original post said "rear o2 sensors have no effect on fuel trims"

But as I haven't read the entire FR, I couldn't say that with absolute certainty so I edited it. Experience, however, has shown me that there is likely an issue with the way he's coded the rear o2's out. The simplest explanation is usually the best.

I think we're saying the same thing. I think he should post up the log of changes he made, or the original and modded file.

Ninja edit-

Been browsing your map switching routine. Very nice.

Yea. I'd like to have a digestible summary of what needs changing, because I still don't know the right way to do it.

Sorry just ment EGTS typo while I was out work trying to not sit on the forums too long. I can try and dig through some of my logs showing my 02 voltages with the EGTS plugged in and then with them unplugged I saw it happen on two cars now.
