Spitting water and sutt

[iceey]

ok before all this happened my o2 sensor wasnt connected (didnt even know what it was) and was running well , then my brother in law decided to connect it , started and ran well so decided to leave it . My car went low batt so i jump started it and water and black sutt started running out of my exaust ..

Is this normal or should i just remove it completely ?
Was it because it went low batt?
is the o2 sensor necessary ?
ect..

could be unburnt fuel that is coming thru. the O2 sensor could possibly be sending inaccurate readings to the ecu, causing overfueling, thus why it was unplugged to begin with. have you noticed any increase in fuel consumption since plugging it back in?

[iceey]

i smelt the liquid comming out of the exaust and it doesnt smell like petrol ?

i dont relly pay attention much to the feul consumption no ..

Sure it's not just condensation? Give it a good drive?

[iceey]

would it be alright to go for a drive in it ?

[stndrd]

Take it for a drive and see if there is any difference in the way the car performs

i took it for a happy lap . and the performance is pretty much the same .. when i came back the water it still coming out .. should i just remove the o2 sensor ?

It's hard to say. I would get your mechanic to check the voltage values of you O2 sensor &coolant temp sensor to make sure that you are getting accurate afr's

the liquid coming out of the exhaust is is water dude, its a by product of how the catalytic converter works. The soot is all the gunk in your exhaust. so stop freaking out. The reason there was still water coming out after your "happy lap" was because you didn't drive far enough to get the exhaust hot, in which case the water would be evaporating before it reaches the exhaust exit

you appear to have a river in your exhaust

Happened to my CRX when I put it on the dyno. I have a video somewhere. Little puddle of black liquid just spitting out. No biggie lol

if it's in the exact same spot, It almost looks like a gasket between that clamp part.
Other than that, could be your headgasket :/

cant be that .. before i connected the o2 sensor it was running perfectly .. no leaks or nothing

[iceey]

might just run the o2 sensor off .. how do you know if the cars running rich or not ?
