You mentioned wanting to get new O2's, can you cut and splice as a temporary fix until you can get some new ones?

Man, I hope that I remembered to put anti-sieze on the threads of my O2's when I did my SW's...

Since I can't get the connector off, I decided I didn't want to cut up my rear o2. Will anything bad happen if I drive around with no left front o2?

i have seen this many times when a customer changed his o2's and forgot the antiseize lube

if you have no front o2 you will basically run on a non corrected preset fuel map... so you prolly wont get best power/fuel mileage

what would ya know....remembered i had this tiny little screwdriver and decided to give it one more go.....got the connector off. woot. Looks like I won't be needing to buy an o2 sensor anymore. I still may need it to pass inspection though. Im not sure if they look on the underside or not.
