Thank you all for your help so far. I have a question about the three wires
coming out of the 02 sensor. One of the 2 heater wires fell loose off of
the sensor itself and the green wire is coaxial and it looks like the
mechanic just stuck a crimp-on connector on it. Is this right? how should
it be wired........Thanks again.........Rex
