By disconnecting the O2 sensor, you're eliminating a path to the PCM -
especially when welding on the exhaust system. Preferably remove it, but
most people don't carry the tool to remove them.

Front bumper?? How about disconnecting the air bag sensor if equiped? Just a

thought. And Bernd, are you saying it's safe to just disconnect the O2S
instead of removing it? Biff
