More important that you have the deflector shield to keep airflow from cooling it off and road spray off it. Both can cause most sensor issues. The sensor can get contaminated from the outside. Its signal is derived from the difference on O2 content of the exhaust and outside air. Dennis
I have never seen the shield - what does it look like? Where would it attach? A home-made one should serve just as well, should it not?
