solder
If you get the $20 Bosch O2 sensor you have to solder on the connector from your old one.
If you pay $40 typically the connector is attached.
Reminds me, I need to take a soldering iron back to school with me.

ended up getting the universal bosch single wire for 19 bucks and change at a local place, still in the hunt for shielded wire. Home Depot and Radio Shack both didnt have it.

Or Digikey or maybe if you have a FRYS electronic store nearby or it seems someone who installs radios in cars would have a shielded cable.

I was thinking about getting the $40 Bosche one, as well. 10 bucks is a quarter tank to me. I just have to find the socket designed to take out the 02 sensor.

i got the bosch and replaced it in about 5 mins. they got ones that are already wired all you gotta do is take your old one out, the new one in and plug it back up. its like a 120 bucks so i just got the universal for 19. i found an auto hobby shop that let me use a spot for 2 bucks an hour and all the tools i needed. iwas done in about 5 mins.

I bought a Borg Warner (OS112) O2 sensor off of ebay, of all places.
Total price was $40.20. The sensor was prewired with the connector.
I purchased the O2 tool from my local parts house for $9.99. The O2 tool is just a 7/8 deep socket that has had a section removed to clear the wire.
Definately an easy job swapping them out, the only hard part was getting the old one out and the old sensor I took out was a NGK.

WOW Im glad to hear b/c I went to the dealership( yeah I know...) and they want 250+ for oem so if you get one for 40 bucks jump on it. Ill be on it on pay day. I think any single wire o2 work and then like they mentioned just solder or crimp the spade connector.

mechanic wrong
Did the mechanic get the code off of the computer that said o2? I doubt he had the the mazda specific blinker or number wave reader or knew how to initialize it to read with the various other methods.
I also doubt that the o2 sensor is your only emissions problem. Read some of the information on going into closed loop on this forum.
