[V6-12v] O2 sensor scam

While our V6 is the V engine not the I engine type, the ECU differs the fuel
injection for each row. I think your idea is possilble, but you'll probably
get rough running, also the emmisions will be out of spec and you'll
probably kill the second cat.
For the $$$ it is not worth.
If you mean to hook the after cat O2 to the "before cat" O2 I'm sure you'll
get the CAT error. It's because the after CAT sensors are mostly to make the
ECU sure the CAT's are working (different amount of O2 measured...).

hey all,
I have a question about the o2 sensors in the 2.8 12v engine. Or rather the
OBD2 system in the car and control unit.
Can I replace only one of the o2 sensors and splice all the other o2 harnes
sensor wires  into the new sensor wire? I can't see the need for 4 o2
sensors really other than ultimate eficiency.  Has anyone done this? Will it
fool the OBD2? The real question is can I be a total cheap ass? Thanks, BA
