Re: NEW LONG TUBE HEADERS.....

Finally fixed everything for him last night, with the same 18 AWG Wire.
I ended up pulling the sensor completely off the car and re-soldered every connection myself. I experienced the same issue that you did MorrisG. It took a lot of heat, but I got everything wired up correctly and soldered up just fine.
He reported last night and this morning no codes, so hopefully everything is good to go.
I will also say to just buy the stupid extension cable. For the $40ish bucks they cost, they are WELL worth the cost.
You can also get tested/used sensors from miata salvagers for around $150. That will be the direction we go if this fix ends up not working long term. Used Front o2 + Brian's Extension Cable.
