Hi guys hoping i could get some help, iv just fitted a 4branch to my Civic D15z1 engine but i cant get the Lambert sensor off the old manifold to put on this one. Anyways what does it actually do?? and do i even need to put another one in cos its seems to run ok atm. Cheers guys

what do you mean by the lambert sensor? are you refering to the IAT (intake air temperature sensor) ? the white sensor on the manifold?
and what do you mean by 4 branch intake manifold? im assuming you went from carburetors?

Sorry mate im from the UK, im guessing we call everything different names!! 4branch manifold is the Exhaust thats comes from the block, think you call it a header or someting, and the sensor screws into the side off the Exhaust.

ah ok its cool. the exhaust manifold and im assuming the Oxygen sensor right?
if your referring to that. there is a socket for the O2 sensor that you can get at any auto parts store. or you want to use a spanner wrench i believe its a 22? maybe bigger? you can use to get that off.

You'll probably want to soak the living hell out of it with penetrating oil, maybe overnight and when you put it in your new header you'll want to use a little anti-seize on the threads.
When I put my header on I tried like hell to get to the old oxygen sensor out but the little SOB wouldn't budge for anything, luckily I get lightly used one from one of the guys on a local forum for around $5.
