      Don't type in all caps.
      You wanted an 18$ universal one, how good do you think it would be??
      I paid 275$CDN for mine.
      THe o2 sensor should work but its not the one that you needed, they gave you one that goes in the exhaust pipe,not the oe that goes in the exhaust manifold

        You can try your luck at the junkyard. My front O2 sensor heating circut went bad and i replaced it with a junkyard unit. Now the CEL is gone. I confirmed that the new "old" sensor works as good as any other o2 sensor by connecting my OBDII scanner to the car.

        The yard will charge you maybe a buck or two for the sensors. Get 2 or 3 so that you won't have to go back if one of them doesn't work. Just heat the sensors with a blow torch or over your gas stove until it's red hot to clean all the crap from it b4 u install it on ur car.

        Btw, any 4 wire bosh O2 sensor will work fine for you as long as the connectors match. That means you can try sensors from 96 and 97 sephias too.

        PS: Don't touch/soil the part of the sensor that goes inside your exhaust.
