Hey guys...I just got a new o2 sensor and the electrical connector has 4 metal prongs inside it. I also have one that came over on a jspec fd engine and that one has 1 prong inside the connector. I am thinking that the parts store that ordered the sensor for me messed up and got me the worng one. Anyone know off hand how many metal prongs are inside the stock o2 electrical connector? My car is burried inder like 15 inches of snow...otherwise I'd look for myself. Thanks

 

this is a bad pic but its the only one I managed before the batteries died on the camera. 4 prongs and the connector is pretty big...can't be right, can it?

 

thats the wideband o2 sensor

stock is one wire

Does anyone think this one is a bad idea for any reason? Its a whole lot less expensive than the one I bought. Thanks

 

u can get that exact same from from auto zone for 18 bux man

i got the oem one for 60 just for the fact that my universal one f'ed up on me after 15min of instal

but who knows maybe u have better luck

OK so where can I get the oem one? Thanks

 

mazda trix has the oem for $170.

 

you can go to www.oxygensensor.com and find out how much they have the O2 for our cars. I think they have the universal and also one that has the plug on it.
Thanks to Chuck for the heads up on that website.

If I remember correctly, the two white wires go to ground. The gray wire goes to hot. And the black wire gets connected to the ECU. Double check that before you hook it up

 

What's he going to hook it up to? The stock O2 sensor is a one wire sending voltage directly to the ecu. splice open the wires and then ground 2 white ones, connect the black wire with the stock wire, and one for power.
