Default o2 sensor question

i bought this o2 sensor from ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...Q5fAccessories

and i have no idea on how to hook it up. maybe someone can shine some light on my problem. thank you in advance for the help.

here is the ebay o2. it comes with a 1 yr warranty so i figured i can save some money and tackle this down but when i got it, the wires were different colors....the ebay one has 2 white 1 grey and 1 black wire and the stock has 1 white 1 green and 2 black wires??

any input is appreciated.

The e-bay one should come with instructions man. Those universal 4-wire sensors suck *** btw.

i did one like that not too long ago. and if i remember correctly i put the two white wires to the two black on the car. then i put the the blk from the o2 to the wht on the car. and the gry on the o2 on the grn on the car.

i hope this gives you a hand.

Agreed, along with about all other "universal" parts.

Code 43 BTW isn't the code for your Primary 02 sensor. Code 43 is "Fuel Supply System". Code 41 is your "Heated oxygen sensor heater." From articles I have read in the past, code 43 tends to come from a lean condition. Its been awhile since I have read anything on it though so I'm going off memory. But you might want to change the Fuel Filter if you don't know how old it is. If it gets a lot of particulates built up, it could hinder fuel flow to the rail.

the 2 wires that are the same color are for your heater, one of the others is your ground, the other is the signal wire. the wires are the same colors as the bosch's so id give that a shot.

Your best bet is the guy above me,.. that sounds about right..Before you even try to figure out the wiring, make sure you see if the old one will come out... My o2 sensor was rusted and so shitty that when I was removing it it snapped and I needed to use a screw extractor... Doesn't seem like too much of a pain except spacing is tight...

O2 sensors should last more than a year if u buy a new one, IMO i would sell that one on craigs list for 15 bucks, scavenge up the rest and buy a direct plug on one
