Copart Mazda RX8 Oxygen Sensor Replacement + Corvette Updates

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Get your BlueDriver OBD Scanner $99.95: amzn.to/2urbeDD

[@sasandabirian8768]

I appreciate when you actually show us repair and we learn while watching.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks!

[@ryodeath]

Randy, you always pick the best music for working on stuff. I replay your vids just for the music while tabbing to do other things after I watch them.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

LOL Thank you. I pay a yearly fee to use this music in my videos. Glad you like it!

[@davidrubin1895]

I did sensors on a f150. The wires were longer than originals. Can't wait to see the update on the better. Have a good day.

[@SuperKylehart]

I've been using a BlueDriver for a couple years now and love it

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

These little things are tough, and can do so much!

[@SuperKylehart]

Auto Auction Rebuilds the first tool I grab when working on any car

[@UDraft4]

Brave man didn't even bother with any penetrate oil on anything. And vise grips instead of a 7/8 wrench. Cheers.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you good sir!

[@tony_25or6to4]

My smog guy said it could take 200 miles before some codes are completely cleared. It looked like you put anti-seize on the O2 sensor...good job, but did you put some on the shield bolts? I was also told that the cable length can make a difference on the primary O2 sensor because of resistance. Generic ones come with a long cable that you're supposed to cut down to the length of the original. It may not make a difference in the one you replaced. Sounds like you're getting over that cold. Good.

[@javoxiry2323]

Randy, if CEL comes on, usually O2 sensor spacer adapter will do the trick to clear it.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

This was due to a broken heater circuit. The O2 was still working other than the heater.

[@DrewsLair]

She's good as new Randy! Great content as always!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you.

[@davidconley3610]

Glad to see you got the Bilstein shocks! You will like the way it handles!👍

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I sure hope so David! Thanks man.

[@johnguerard1355]

Another great one. Patiently waiting for the corvette shock video.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Hoping to do that the day after tomorrow. So the video may be Thursday. :)

[@vesalkong]

What were the symptoms of a bad o2? I have the same vehicle bit it wont idle. Onky code thats showing up is the same in this video p0138 ff. Dont wanna spend 100s on a sensor just for it to ne something else.

[@DaddytechEnt]

*those the magnettic ride shocks?Bilstein does those better than most if my air ride stuff ever dies on the caddy's i may just bypass the sensor with resistors and try a set of those*

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

These are regular shocks.

[@Crazycajun985]

I have that odb2 device and I have a check engine light on my new project but it’s not showing the check engine error code. It’s just showing the error just that the check engine light is on.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Very strange.

[@christinapickett1788]

What about upstream 02 sensor replacement???

[@kennykoester5701]

Good job Mr Randy really enjoy your videos😎

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks Kenny.

[@timmorris245]

You made quick work outta that Randy, great job.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks!

[@Marlon_J]

I have a portable OBD2 dangle that I bought off eBay a few years ago. I use it with the Torque app. I wonder how that compares to Bluedriver?

[@Marlon_J]

I guess you answered my question at the end of video about Bluedriver vs Torque. Sounds like you can do a lot more.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I used Torque before getting this one. Torque Pro is a good app but this does far more.

[@RB-lk1kn]

Do tou have a link where to buy the sensor? The code i get is bank 1 sensor 2

[@martinladjimi3238]

Great video again Randy! My dads car sounds like a jet too when it shuts off lol

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you Martin!

[@subzero___]

3:45 may i know the song name and singer please?

[@subzero___]

Auto Auction Rebuilds Thank you very much :)

[@nickztech9947]

Nice this is kind of like how I'm rebuilding the FRS on my channel

[@williamarden5441]

You could have rented a socket to fit the O2 at Advance

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Didn't need one. Vice Grips work 99.9% of the time. Not worth the time.

[@gmcjimmy3580]

Loven that vett man, cool video please keep em coming.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks man!

[@thordehr]

That is right under where your rear seat was melted in the other rx8? The downstream sensor is out....bad cat, getting too hot....... Something to look at.

[@jonniespecter]

WHAT! You did not flood the car? I've had my RX-8 for about 8 months now, ever since I got it, I've never stalled or flooded, but if I have to move it outside or something I always wait until the car is half way warmed up so I can turn it off because I'm scared of "flooding" it...

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I have yet to flood this one.

[@andrewhopson8578]

Check your ignition health. A healthy ignition can handle shutdowns like this. Only time I'm fearful is when it's super cold outside and I'm moving it a short distance. Then I do the 3k rev up and shutdown dance.

[@quintingrillenberger9130]

Like the challenge between the Misses and yourself... Would of luvd to see it

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Me too lol.

[@scottgray9674]

Great video. So when a car throws a code like that, replacing the sensor isn't enough I guess, like you have to clear the code afterward as well? I guess the car isn't smart enough to detect there is a New sensor automatically. Good to know!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

It will clear the code eventually. It usually takes a few cycles to clear.

[@drezee7173]

A low efficient cat could be a clogged cat. A clogged cat can lead to excess backpressure and a blown engine

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

For sure. You can usually tell a clogged cat by rotten egg smell, or using an IR temp before and after. Should be a very noticeable difference in temp if clogged.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Sweet obd. Scanner. I will be getting one of those bad boys

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You'll love it!

[@micstekniq]

That's a nice track in the background, what's it called?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Wild Ones Jessie Villa

[@yuwish6320]

Coincidence? I think not. I replaced the rear O2 sensor on my RX8 literally yesterday. I took one look at that sensor and said "That's the wrong sensor."

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

It works :)

[@shagsshag149]

Hey dude! Just some friendly advice,throw some wd40 or similar on any exhaust bolts and let it sit for a minute before trying to remove.Also next time instead of buying a sensor try cleaning the sensor maybe with carby clean and air gun it and see how you go!! None the less keep up the good work/videos and stop trying make every car brand new ya ocd😂we discussed this before you said you would🤪

[@devongee1776]

I see that Toyota box back there man. You finally got that performance exhaust for the Prius ye?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

LOL yep full cat-back :)

[@Jerms995]

It's a catless

[@devongee1776]

Car_entuziust_for_life on ig oh baby

[@8bitMicroFan]

Your fiancée doesn't mind getting her hands dirty working on cars? She's a keeper.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Not at all. She enjoys it, just not being on camera lol.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Is that a Samsung phone your using randy?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

It is the Note 8.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Auto Auction Rebuilds do you use it for uploads ?

[@markflint2629]

Pity you didn’t didn’t check the fuel trims or cat activity as you will still be in closed loop because it’s still cold

[@blacksupersport8311]

So if you were worried about breaking the nuts due to rust why not hit it with some WD-40 first? Question 2 what you don't have a wrench to properly fit the 02 ? LoL

[@nodak81]

I think the long wire is just so the sensor can fit many different cars.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

That's a good point. I didn't consider that. Thank you.

[@XXYAANXXXXYAAnXX]

Nice job as always

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you.

[@Mr19853]

Awesome! Are you selling the rx8 yet? Also what phone is that, looks like the screen is curving.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Not yet. My phone is the Note 8. Thanks for watching.

[@MISSUNIVERSE1830]

Mr uber man I saw an 09 rx 8 all black too in a dealership in tx they are asking $7500 for it

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Very nice! :)

[@mirzafarrukhishtiaqbaig]

Very good nice work 😊

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you.

[@MCtootsie]

You should never turn an RX-8 off when it's cold. You can flood it and that can be expensive to fix or clean out.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I'm aware. This car has never had that issue. Thanks for the comment.

[@fohatadri]

Won’t flood if ignition system is good.

[@The72caddyman]

I bought an odbII checker, at autozone a few years ago... who needs a phone, it gives me the code, I look it up... easy... if you use a bluetooth device, great, I am too cheap to buy another gadget when this one works fine.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

OK??

[@davvehallberg]

hey,the Corvette has tractor suspension compared to the rx8's double a-arm and multi link suspension!but hopefully the bilstein's will help a little bit,maybe look at the sway bar and links on the vette..

[@MrTydriver]

Sometimes, simpler is better.. Especially if it works, and the C6 can easily pull well over 1G laterally on the right tires so I'd say tractor suspension works just fine.. If it aint broke don't fix it ;-) Just my $0.02

[@notsolegitgarage2967]

The post sensor is equally as important as the pre sensor

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

It's really not. It does nothing that changes A/F at all. Please refrain from posting false information on my channel.

[@ericrollins8960]

How do you figure? The secondary monitors catalysts activity. Has no effect on how the engine runs.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Exactly Eric.

[@ericrollins8960]

Auto Auction Rebuilds I just installed a catless header on my girlfriends car and completely removed the secondary from the exhaust but left it plugged in. No check engine light thus far as it runs perfect. I kept getting check engine light using a spark plug non fouler.

[@vincentblue8247]

Seem like that's easy.. I belive i gotta put some on my 02 chevy tahoe lt

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Pretty easy.

[@JakeFromLateFarm]

Vincent Blue -- Never worked on a Tahoe, but just be advised that some o2 sensors can be a HUGE pain in the butt to get out, so be ready for a battle.

[@777warhero]

I cant believe that the o2 sensor came out so easily

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I feel lucky lol.

[@jesuadiaz]

Nice!👍👌🇺🇸

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you.

[@NITROLANCER1]

please use raw audio instead of music

[@rayrowe2664]

I don't believe it !!! no 02 sensor socket

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

None necessary.

[@ericrollins8960]

I just use a adjustable wrench

[@BudgetPhoenix]

vicegrips? really?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Yep, really. Did they work? Yep.

[@pmedic88]

She doesn’t mind being on video while she’s sleeping....just after she wakes up 😵

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

LOL

[@Barry_Mcokinerr]

just waiting for the liberals to notice the papa johns in the kitchen!! great video randy

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

LOL Oops!!! Thanks man.
