Hi again.
I took my exhaust off as i need to get a sheared thread drilled out. I stumbled accross this which has been welded into my pipe but goes nowhere.

What is it? egt? Its not attached to anything,

More likely was a wideband or narrowband that has become a bung.

I think EGT uses a smaller thread. 1/8in NPT and wide band uses a M18x1.5mm

Wideband is the ones that measure the AFR across the whole range from rich to lean.

Narrow band are what most cars come with as standard and only give a true reading for AFR of around 14. These are much cheaper to manufacture and only the areas that a standard ecu will use are accurate.
