>From Bernd:

Stay away from "universal" O2 sensors that require you to cut/crimp your old
connector into the new one. Reason for this is that the newer style O2
sensors use the wires as an air passage for O2 measurements. Plug it and
you'll get either incorrect readings or a check engine light.

HUH?? I just can't visualize what you're trying to say here. To paraphrase Curly Howard, Hey Moe them wires is full of copper!!! So how does air get down them? Also is it using this mysteriously penetrating air as some sort of a reference or what?
