Ok volks, here it is

On a 3 wire sensor, does the heater element always stay on, or does the ecu or other magical process stop the heating at some point in time or some point when the sensor is hot enough?

I'm thinkinkg of retrofiting my 1984 1.9L one wire setup to the 3 wire job, the thought being that it would heat up faster, idle better, get better econonmy, smog etc. Is it worth it, or is it a waste of time, money, stress, effort, patience, dirt, grease, rapped knuckles, spouse's tolerance etc.

Thanks
