Re: Fw: RE:solder vs. crimp

["MrAudi" <mraudi25@epix.net>]

for what its worth. i learned this in Ford Asset class. the wire used in 02
sensors is special. i don't remember the specifics but the operation of it
depends on a perfect transfer of voltage. and attanching two wires with
solder that is around 60% lead would probably add in too much voltage loss
