Trying to make sense of the 02 sensors for my build. Engine is an LQ4. The swap harness that I have does not connect to my 02 sensors as the plugs are different. I need to figure out the wiring so I can butt them up.
The sensors are:
BLACK
BLACK
BLUE
WHITE
The wiring on the truck:
RHS:
TAN
PURPLE
GREEN
PINK
LHS:
TAN

You know it's bad when your car is on the EPA's 10 most wanted list!
O2 sensors are a pain….. never understood why they have so many different connectors for a 4 wire sensor.
I know they are expensive…. I would buy the correct O2 for the harness. But to be clear are you looking to change the plug to the plug for your sensors are are you looking to eliminate the connector all together? With O2’s being a disposable part I would want a connector.
I own one swap that the O2’s do not read, the ecm sees them but they just flat line and could not figure out why. Was having that engine dyno tuned anyway for other issues that were known prior to the swap. they cleaned up the fuel maps and it runs great from sea level to 14,000 feet.

I bought an adapter that ended up being incorrect so I'll take the one pigtail off and hardwire it in. That way the sensors can still be changed. It kills me because the sensors were expensive and are correct for the donor vehicle.

That's frustrating for sure..... Wish I had the diagram for you with the color codes. The only thing I know to do is find out what pins are what and trace them with an ohm meter.
about fired my harness guy over my truck.... been using him for 15 years without issue, he forgot the OBDII port, cruise control wiring and put a DBW program in for my DBC motor, chased that for 2 months. Wouldn't have taken so long if he wasn't 3 hours away.

Yeah, I would trace the wires back with my multimeter. Find the connections at the computer for the heaters and sensors and follow them out to the sensors. Or start at the sensor and trace back to identify that connection.
