Why are the front two disconnected? You need those for the PCM to determine fueling. Without them, it can only guess, and will run rich to keep the motor safe.

If I remember right I still used my mill eleminators to get the wires to reach them. I also think there are just wire extenders you can buy if that is the problem, where the wires will not reach.

Woah! Definitely connect the front O2 sensors, and do not use Mil Eliminators, it is going to mess with the PCM's fuel map. Just extend the wires, or buy an wire extension set and you should be good to go.

Why would you think the O2 sensors wern't important?

I know you can turn off the mils with the diablo, but it is an off road pipe so they have to be turned off or will get check engine light. Am I right but are the first set of o2s just to see if cats are there or not.(mil) The second are the ones the count.(02) I already had the mil eliminators so used them to get the length. Then turned them off with the diablo. I guesse I did make that clear in the first post. But mil eliminators will work for the fisrt set if you do not have a tuner and just wanted to add o/r pipe.

no, its other way around, the 1st set(ones towards the front) are the ones that do the work. the second set(set furthest towards back of car) are the ones that check to see if the cats are working properly
