Replacing Oxygen sensor - what I learned 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be bl on  Sun Oct 30 10:14 CST 2005 [RELATED]



I used a universal sensor on a 96 850 and got poor results. The problem wasn't in the "splice" which, if done correctly with the waterproof kit supplied with the sensor, about has to be good and is very difficult to screw up. I checked my splice many times with a ohm meter and it was fine. The vendor even sent me another sensor (very unusal to get a return on an electrical part that has been installed) that worked briefly and quit. Used a "direct fit" sensor and presto, problem solved. A lot of guys here on the BB get great results with universal sensors but I didn't for some reason.
