What kind of O2 sensor? did you end up splicing it to fit? Do the wire colors match?

Its not the sensor, its your wiring to it, you probably botched that, as it is the only reasonable explanation as to why your are throwing that code, unless you suspect the O2 is bad.

Universal sensors are junk.

Go buy a proper 4-wire Denso or NTK oxygen sensor with the proper connector. It's not going to be cheap, but it's going to work. Which is the point.

MMM not exactly. I used a Denso 4-wire Universal and spliced the wires together and had no problem at all.
