July 25, 20178 yr i have a 2011 subaru forester i had the front o2 senser changed and it will not rev up past 3000 rpm by the time i got back to the shop it had no power at all and would not rev past 2000 rpm anyone have any ideas
July 25, 20178 yr Author It ran fine to the shop without a o2 senser when it was put in it started doing this
July 25, 20178 yr did this happen in the same day or 2? did a dealership do the work? if not, what brand part was used? any other work done? miles on car?
July 27, 20178 yr Was the new 02 sensor wiring spliced onto your old 02 wiring? If so, that can be the source of the problem. I have found that to be a problem in the past, and now won't install an 02 sensor that requires wiring splice.
July 27, 20178 yr yeah, get one that has a plug already on it and there should be no problems... I have used Bosch O2 sensors on a couple of my Subarus, but ALWAYS the one with a plug already installed - NEVER the splice versions.
