Fast question about O2 sensor

Well since it's dark, and I HAVE to drive it in the morning I went ahead and spliced in some regular insulated wire and carefully ran it far from the exhaust. Once I get the heat shielded wire I'll do it right. Hopefully this will hold up till then. later

You don't need the O2 sensor connrected to drive the car. It's only used under low-load cruising conditions, and the only effects of not having is working will be small increases in emissions ans fuel consumption.

Just regular insulated wire will do if you mean extending the wire several inches. The SHIELDED wire is for EMI purposes though. Not for heat insulation of the wire. Something like Electrical - Mechanical - Interference.
The shield is grounded near the ECU. The output of the 02 sensor is miniscule and read in milivolts. Even knowing that, I use about two feet of regular insulated wire to mate my 02 sensor to the harness (buggard up harness).
