So my O2 sensor isn't hooked up to anything...
1990 CRX Si
My neighbor noticed I got my CRX running consistently. I asked him if he knew anything about why my exaust would be smoking a little and he said it's running rich by the smell. One of the first things he looked at was the O2 sensor. We realized that it wasn't hooked up to anything, the wire had been cut. I was wondering if anyone would have a picture of what the sensor should look like when it was hooked up (where it hooks up). If I were to buy the sensor, would the thing that it needs to connect to my wiring harness (that's where we are thinking it hooks up) work as well?
Also, another problem I have is there is PCV Valve going from the valve cover to the air intake, right? Well, mine isn't connected at all, and we can't figure out how it is we're supposed to get the PCV Valve (have one), connected to the tubing (have it), that is supposed to hook up the the stock airbox/intake portion (do not have stock, but have one we can hook the thing into.) We just can't figure out if there's supposed to be an adapter or how exactly it is supposed to be hooked up FROM the valve cover. I haven't been able to find a picture, so if anyone knows of one that would show what I need, I'd appreciate it.

I know my O2 sensor isn't hooked up and the plug is near the distributer. I have seen some people have their's hooked up to the header. Of some have it before the cat at the bottom of the engine. Are you OBD0 or OBD1?
