Hey, I guess I was thinking correctly.  I tried switching wires and no
change. So I simply unplugged the 02 and found it runs smoothly again.  Yes
I was using the three wire one.  Should I exchange it? (I'd go ahead and
buy the VW sensor but it lists up here for $189.00 & I've already spent
$40) I'm sure I'll need one to pass Mass. state inspection because I had it
inspected a few weeks ago and the 02 levels were twice the minimum
requirement.

I appreciate your help.
Steve
