O2 sensor wire broken, having troubles reconnecting

Ok so I figured out why my car was throwing the 02 sensor code, the wire was clearly broken off 6in after it left the sensor. My problem is figuring out where it actually ties into. Can someone post a picture of what it connects to so I can get some decent gas milage. Thanks in advnace.

Find the BAC harness and trace the wire into where it connects with the rest of the harness right by the waterpump. The o2 sensor wire is a brown wire IIRC.

It's up to you but that seems like alot more work especially if the wire is there. Just look for it.

Hehe I Just broke my O2 sensor wire off a few minutes ago when I dropped the tranny. Have no idea how it got snagged on the tranny but it did. O well. Now I gotta find where to solder this wire.

yes the best thing to do is to hook it up at the ecu , it solved alot of my problems, use a ohm meter to find the right one , its the gray thicker wire but it changes about 8 inches from the plug to the ecu
