Ok my car has been throwing a C/E light for some time, well it comes on for a few days, goes off for a few days, and so on. Well for a while now i have felt a powerloss from when i bought the car it seems. My factory boost guage only is reading 4-5 PSi and never any higher. Well after playing with my pocketlogger, the light says its code 11 O2 sensor. Does that mean its bad or is something else making it read wrong? I logged a run and the front o2 reads 2.5v all the time, never changes. the rear o2 read 0.00v-0.13v peak on a run. I get about 43 counts of knock about 6500-7k RPM, it reads ~0 till i hit 3k-3500 rpm. My car is totally stock, and i checked the piping and dont see any visible leaks and my question is will a bad o2 make you loose boost and is the o2 sensor itself bad? They are 118 bucks for a new one so i wanted to cover all other options before i got a new one. I have 176k miles, and i know at one point the previous owner replaced it already, but i dont remember when, i will have to check the paperwork. any help will be appreciated. Oh and another thought of a boost leak would be it might possibly be leaking into the crankcase, the dipstick pops out sometimes and also the "breather" completely comes out also. My oil pressure reads about a quarter inch from the 2nd line on the guage when i get on it, i have a feeling that probably isnt accurate considering the miliage. Anyone got any ideas? thanks

hopefully someone on here with the same software might know, mine didnt come with any info. Probably wasnt the best idea to go cheap ebay stuff.
My plans are to just go for a total engine rebuild and a evo 3 16g turbo, im not looking for an obscene amount of power, just a nice and perky DD, 250-350hp range max. But i guess i will try o2 sensor knock sensor then a boost gauge and see what that does for me. Im running 92 octane cause 93 is hard to come by around here, travis told me when i bought it that it wouldnt be a problem and i have ran 93 and it doesnt feel like any difference to me. As for the Boost control solinoid (assuming thats the boost restrictor your talking about) , i have no idea if its even there or not, i havent personally done any mods to it, but visually the only mod i have seen was the hacked aircan mod. EDIT: just a thought, but "if" there was engine vibration due to worn motor mount or ticking lifters, would that read as knock? -------------------- 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS- Pretty daily driver
