Re: 0x. sensor question[16v]



   There is also a 3 wire universal replacement avail.(about $30-35) This is
what I did. Virtual World and Adirondack have them. You just splice on your
harness, piece of cake. I don't know how necessary the preheat is for the
sensor. I'm sure that if cold, it could affect your ability to pass
emissions testing (if that's a concern)
