I've seen an O2 sensor that 'fools' the computer into thinking O2 is fine..and doesn't need replaced. Anyone had any experience with these, are they worth the money? If so, I see no need for an actual O2 sensor..
I believe some fashion of exhaust gas monitoring is required for fuel injection systems. I watched speedtv install of EFI on a 65 chevy and one was installed that came with the kit. Whats the point since O2 sensors are so cheap anyway?

Also the O2 simulators only show 1 signal like a real O2 sensor. So the computer will be confused and they are really only meant for off-road use when you are at WOT most of the time since the computer ignores the O2 sensores at WOT.
