This is for a 92 hatch. so its foreal supposed to be plugged in straightinto the header? How would I check the the code that its throwing? I have a volt meter I just don't really know how to use it...LOL 1What year and model car are you discussing?
Yes, the o2 sensor is designed to be screwed into the header. It reads the air quality and feeds it to the ECU so that it can adjust fuel rates.
As for it giving you a CEL, what's the code? If the code description is anything with "low voltage", replace the sensor and check your wiring.
If it's "high voltage" check for shorts.
Good luck!

Pretty much nailed it, by check your wiring he means there might be some high-ish resistance in one of the wires if the code is for low voltage.What year and model car are you discussing?

hmmm well I'm actually pretty new to this.. So I had my volt meter and I found that piece in the link you showed me. How do I check the voltage? What's the mode i'm supposed to set the meter to? Where do I poke with the black and red needles.. LOL I feel hella dumb but foreal I'm lost!Yes, the o2 sensor is for real mounted right into the header.
To retrieve the CEL code for the car, you have to remove the passenger side kick panel to expose the ECU and jump a plug.
Read through the 5 steps and let us know what the code is. We may then begin to help you fix it

You don't use a voltmeter to jump the service connector. LIke I said, read through the instructions.hmmm well I'm actually pretty new to this..

Get yourself a paperclip, stick it into both holes on that plug, and then turn your key to the second position and watch your CEL. Check back at that link for how to tell what code it's giving you.
Also, I doubt that your o2 sensor is throwing the CEL, i believe this is because only OBD2 systems throw codes for messed up o2 sensors. You have a single-wire o2 sensor.
Get the CEL code for us, follow the instructions in that link, and we'll sort this out
