Just because the code trips, it doesn't mean the sensor is bad, it means the sensor is telling the ECU that it's readings are outside specification.

There could be other reasons that its fouling apart from ignition timing. Running rich, Map sensor giving a bad reading due to bad vacuum lines, fouled spark plugs, poor spark...

I think I have the same problem. Check Engine keeps coming on for the o2 sensor which I already replace. I just ignore it now.
