I know an o2 sensor is not the same size as the Spark plug so a non-fouler made for a 1998 accord would be too small. A while back when i wanted to cover up my Primary sensor I had autozone match me a spark plug with the same size but I returned it and cant remember what the name of the vehicle was, dang x( Im going o head to autone in a few hours to try to find a match for it, hopefullyit workss

Alright, So i tried this. Part #42002 from autozone. My o2 sensor is 18mm thread so That is why I picked that part # out of 5 others, the others were 14mm thread.

The rest of the procedure is from this post. How To: Install An O2 Sensor Non Fouler to Eliminate a Check Engine Light with Pics - Chevrolet Colorado & GMC Canyon Forum

Now, Time to see if it actually works! I will post back tomorrow to give it a day to see if it works or not! Byee, thanksss to LIVE2RICE for giving me the idea

Btw this cost me $4&some change and took me about 30 minutes including the ride to autozone.

You could probably buy something on ebay that just extends it. I just had a test pipe made and had one welded in when I did it.

Glad it worked for you and you were able to get it done cheap. EVAP codes are always fun.....not.

You now get a +1 good deed for your list when youre waiting outside of heaven. haha

Im thinking the evap code is coming from the fuel pump assembly cause I was messing with that last week to fix my gauge.
