Here's how I did it recently. Went into a Kragens and asked the bored looking
ast. mgr. type which was the cheapest Bosch heated (3-wire) o2 sensor he had.
He kept pulling boxes off the shelf and looking up prices while I peered into
the boxes. When we got to one which was about 50 bux I bought it. I think it
was for a dorf. They would not do this by phone BTW.

I did have to splice (solder and heatshrink) the wires. This had apparently
been done previously for the car's PO since it had a Japanese sensor spliced
in with butt-splices. (NOT they way to go IMO.)

What I would be careful of is the physical location of the sensor. You will
want enough wire length to make your splices far enough from the EM so as to
not be vulnerable from the heat. HTH
