I would only get a Delco or Denso O2 sensor. Don't get a Bosch, they are known for being problematic.

The one I got bad out of the box was a DELPHI, supposed to be OEM good. But wasn't. I realize any thing can suffer crib death but O2 sensors seem to have more of an issue with being dead out of the box than should be expected.
It seems all that has to happen is they get mishandled i.e. Dropped and they are no good.
A friend of mine went thru 4 consecutive sensors recently before the 5th was good. If the auto parts store didn't know him well, and his reputation for being an excellent technician, they would not have believed that a batch of 4 sensors were bad but they were.

The 95 must of been a funny Rivi

The Supercharged motor was a series 1

The non supercharged was a series 2

Better be, thats what I got stuffed in mine, a series 3 with series 2 sensors... Wonder if thats the problem?
