Default DC sports header + o2 sensor relocation= check engine light.

Just put it a dc sports header on a d16y8 and was wondering if anyone else as had or heard of problems when relocating the o2 sensor.

I keep getting the check engine light and the code comes up with an o2 sensor as being the problem. Anyone know what the problem might be? I had to extend the wiring since the original position of the o2 sensor was close to the front of the stock header and the DC sports header has it on the bottom towards the end (close to cat). The wires were smoldered together when extended the o2 sensor and everything was taped up and heat shrinked.

Could the o2 sensor be bad? Would relocating the o2 sensor farther down the header prompt the check engine light? Would an exhaust leak between the header and CAT (or rest of piping) trigger the engine light?


Kind of stuck on what to do. Any advice would be great.
