I'm 90% sure the above has nothing to do with the O2 sensor on a CIS car.

Among other things, if it does the idle ping-pong immediately (ie,
before the O2 sensor has warmed up), it's *definitely* not the O2
sensor.

If it has 60k+ since the last O2 sensor change, yes, it'll help with
mileage and emissions, but it won't solve the idle problems.

I assume you've checked operation of the ISV?  Have you run all the
CIS output diagnostics?

HTH,
