1986 escort 3-wire or Bosch universal?

In the quest for a better idle I figured a new o2 sensor couldn't hurt after 60k+ for 35$. SO what do you guys think? I don't care about the heated part, but about the speed an accuracy of each (if they are different) I have PFC so I will be monitoring it and just need consistency.

Thanks

I have had both. I did not like the Bosch, it made the startups rougher than stock. The Escort heated makes the startups very smooth. Just my 2 cents

The escort one is Napa part na 204 or something if I can remember correctly. I'm using it currently on my car, but not using the heating element of it and it works fine, no rough idle or anything like that.

Does the ECU even read the o2 sensor when the water temps are below operating? I can't see how it would affect start up.

Just my opinion. If anybody knows otherwise i would like to hear.

I've had both...the Bosch works just as well...the only reason I had the 3-wire was to run leaded race gas during the winter to fend off detonation...

I say go with the Bosch...
