It is still my Starion. Those shots were from a recent O2 swap though. You are correct! It is still my Starion. Those shots were from a recent O2 swap though.

I'll say yes. If the O2 sensor is only sniffing number three exhaust then it's probably a good idea to relocate it downstream so it can sniff out the balance of all four cylinders. Hey Paulo.

Could having only one cylinder covered by the sensor impact negatively on the car's performance/gas mileage/emissions?

I have seldom been so well loved by the universe as to have an O2 sensor come without a fight. Cheater bars and liberal amounts of PB B'laster are my preferred tools for this job.
