Picked up a new O2 sensor today. i got the Universal one, I haven't tried to install it yet or anything, but does anyone have any experience using these Universal O2 sensors? I heard thxone had some trouble, but I'm just curious.

I used the universal one last time I replaced my O2 on my NA cause I was a little low on cash and I was already in the store. I just cut off so much of the old wiring and the connector from the old O2 sensor and then soldered it to the new sensor/wire and shrink wrapped it. Worked like a charm. The only thing that makes them universal is the fact that they dont have that harness connector already on the wiring. Just make sure when you cut the connector off your old sensor that you leave plenty of wire attached to the connector.

For my turbo motor I went with a stock replacement cause my connector was in pretty bad shape and I didn't want to reuse it.

Well before this dies and you're pretty good at this stuff. What do you think about my running cold problems? Does it sound like symptoms of an AFM on its way out? The car when warm seems to have it's lack of power right around 2000 rpms. Also like I said when idling and holding it at 2000 rpms there was a noticeable miss. This seems to look like one of my last things that could be causing this whole bad running well cold issue. Cus it seems to act like a mixture problem while cold, just like it was when the timing was way off. Oh and at one point it did cross my mind that I might have a compression issue. A test was done and this thing had 140 across all 6 cylinders. I was pretty impressed that a 23 year old engine with over 80k miles was holding compression so well.
