Are universal oxygen sensors just as good?

<<Has anyone had 
     success/failure with a universal OXS.  They are significantly cheaper 
     and you can get one from Bosch.>>

	The difference is the connector on the end.  Only.  Same Bosch quality,
probably the exact same lambda sensor.  But you have to splice the wires into
the system.  DO NOT use the little "quick splice (solderless)" adapters, you
will regret it.  You can use wire nuts (works OK) if you tape them in place.
But the best option is to solder the wires, then cover the splices with heavy
gauge electrical tape.

	Later.
