called up the auto parts store to get a new O2 sensor, because my N/A gets 15 mpg. I could get the universal or the OE, with a price difference of like $20. Does it matter which? I like to save money!

BTW...How much is a new O2 sensor? Any signs of knowing it needs to be replaced?

Advance Auto Parts has the universal one for $17.99. I make the same mileage now as I did when my O2 sensor wasn't hooked up at all. If getting a new one doesn't help, I'll check out the wiring. Other than my experience, I wouldn't know how to determine if it's bad.
