This review is out of step with the "one review per customer/item".
A few days ago I commented on Bosch 15716 Oxygen sensor, at that time
I had purchased two, 15716 and 15717. My mechanic installed both sensors
an questioned why I did not buy two of each so both sides could be changed?
I was not told to get four! I had another set sent next day delivery and
they were put in . In addition to the $40.plus saving over parts stores
prices I can also now say the vehical runs smoother and is more responsive.
SUMMARY:as previously indicated I saved money, received super service
from Amazon.com, and now can say with authority that the four
Bosch oxygen sensors improved the operation of the vehical.

I bought two of these O2 (HEGO, oxygen) sensors for my 1994 Crown Vic. I had previously mage the mistake of buying the "universal type". That may have been OK with a single or maybe even a two-wire unit but I will NEVER do it with a three or four-wire sensor again. Since the wires have different guages and colors from the stock wiring, it is very difficult to get lucky enough to get them to work correctly. I even was persistant enough to finally find the wiring chart for both the universal sensor (Delphi) and the Ford stock colors. I matched them up and they still did not work right. Once I bought these Bosch units, I plugged them in and sent the car down to get smogged. Even with 267,xxx miles on the engine, it passed with flying colors! I know that phrase it used a lot but check this out: one reading allowed 1%. Measured was .01%. Another was allowed 2% and it read .02%. The HC (hydrocarbons) allowed like 551 PPM and my car had like 42 PPM. These were much better than what I did a year and a half earlier with some 30,000 miles LESS on the car! The only recommendation I would make would be to maybe step up to the next longer wire length. When the factory puts these in they have plenty of room. With pulling the engine, space can be very limited so having a longer wire length would certainly help.

Find yourself an honest mechanic before deciding its the O2 sensor. I had the OBD II reader tell me it was P0156 and I ordered the O2 sensor thinking I would just have it changed. Turns out it was just a fuse.


The sensor itself works fine (with my 1996 Ford Taurus)
