Ugh.... you shouldnt "just" splice the wires. If the connection isnt right the part isnt right...you might be putting an oxy sensor in when it needs the air/fuel or vise versa. Know what I mean? Just get a factory part. where do you live?

dfire9: Get the part number off the old one and post it up here. Derek can look it up and tell you which one it is and just replace that one and reset the ECU. Done.
More than likely you just replaced the wrong one or WITH the wrong one.
