    would the single wire be long enough to fit on your aftermarket header??

    O2 sensors are a 'wear part' anyway (75k-100k). Unless the one you have is 'young' I'd just replace it as a matter of maintenance. If it isn't the cause you'll have a correct spare.

    ^I would think so....it's almost 2' long, plus the extra 5-6" on the harness plug.

    I replaced my O2 sensor at 79k miles with a Bosch #15730. In 2006, it cost $65. I had to splice it in. My car now has 135k miles and the O2 sensor is still working fine.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    I think I have a spare nib Bosch. I'll look. I wouldn't worry about the cheaper spliced version as long as you so a clean splice job.

    ^I ordered that Denso last night, was looking at Bosch from local stores. Amazon Prime will have it here by tomorrow! I HOPE that's my problem, but not holding my breath.

    ^I'm optimistically hopeful,

    But it is an old ass worn out car (Well except for all the parts you've already replaced)

    I don't know if that package is worth it or not. Not enough data as of yet.
