How do I bypass o2 sensor on my 2000 Saturn sl2 3.0 litre

You can't. The computer knows it is there and also knows if you try to wire around it. The electrical output from the O2 sensor is used to control the other engine controls. If you bypass the O2 sensor, the motor turns on the check engine light and goes into limp mode which makes the car run pretty bad

Bypass the o2 sensor at catalytic converter

There's no way to bypass it. It reads directly to the PCM. I recommend unplugging it and put it in the glovebox until you get it fixed. It'll make the check engine light come on but it shouldn't affect drivability at all.

Bypass sensor

I'm guessing you have already had the onboard computer scanned, and know for a fact that the O2 sensors are your problem. If not, You can go to autozone and they will do a scan for free.

With that being said, bypassing your O2 sensors is probably not a good idea. Your mileage will suffer, and you can potentially damage the catalytic converter which is very expensive to replace. Eventually, your car will become harder and harder to start, begin stalling out, and finally not start at all. A pair of generic sensors from Autozone or the part store of your choice, will resolve your problem for under a $100 in most cases.

You will need to buy or borrow an O2 socket if you don't have one already, to remove the old sensors. It's an easy job to do, and will save you time,money, and multiple headaches in the long run.

How can i bypass the o2 sensor 0n a 1997 gmc jimmy

You cannot do that because the sensor has a varied voltage output and the ECM will see it as something wrong.

Running rich

Well you can't bypass the sensor. If the sensor was faulty the check engine light would be on.
If you have replaced the plugs you may have to get a mechanic to check out the computer and other sensors.

Engine code33 or 32 service engine

Hello, Your Code 32 means that an O2 circuit is reading high. Its position is Bank1 spot1. The Code 33 would go to a vehicle with a turbo or supercharger. Code 33 concerns the Turbo bypass circuit, if so equipped.

You can continue to get free scans at Autozone, Advance or Oreilys. The O2 sensor should be replaced or check the wiring for a grounded wire to the O2 sensor.

How can I bypass the catalytic converter sensor

You mean the rear o2 sensor. What do you have a converter efficiency code keeping the check engine light on? You don't want to buy a converter but want the light off. If this is what you are asking they make O2 sensor simulators.
