Default Oxygen sensor...

Hey guys. I just got 2002 Lancer LS, 2.0L, automatic. It has an accident. I took out a radiator and the Oxygen sensor. I got new Oxygen sensor without connector, but the collors of new sensor wiresand old connector wiresare different. TheSensor has 2 white 1 grey and 1 black wires, connector has 1 white 2 black and 1 blue wires. I tried to connect wires by the different ways but car is not starting. It has a gas, new batary, all wires seems ok. Im prety sure that thesensor is installed incorect, plz help me, dunno how to connect wires.

An o2 sensor will not cause a car not to start, you might want to look into something else that was rapaired on.

Does the car crank and do u have spark?

I would expect that even with the different colors, it'll still hook up similar. Like sam said, the o2 sensor wont cause it not to start, but tis still a good idea to have the wiring worked out.

Im guessing 2 white -> 2 black
1 black -> 1 blue
1 grey -> 1 white

Not sure but it if not try witching from grey->white to grey->blue.

English wasnt bad btw.

if it was in an accident i have some ideas on why it won't start. did you buy it from Auction? does the key have a black coating on the head? i see alot of lancers get towed in becuase someone just cut a key not realizing the car has an immobilizer that if the key isn't programmed to the car it won't start. if you have an all silver key that doenst have a mitsubishi logo on the head you may have to have a new key cut.

your spelling is better than some americans i've seen on this forum

I hope that helps, its kinda one of those shot in the dark solutions that sometimes people don't think of. to check spark take off a plug wire and put the lead to a meter in it and try and crank the car over.
