When I tried to test it with a DVM, it didn't give the results that Dan Houg said it should produce. I just installed a new catalytic converter and I don't want to mess it up. I see in the Parts Place catalogue that new generic three wire sensors are available for about $50.00. I would have to splice the wires to the old connector, but that's no biggie. Do you think that the generic sensors are as good as the Bosch? The Bosch sensor is about $130.00.
