That's the one I replaced. Yeah, the replacement was from the junkyard, but I don't think chances are good of finding another dud, if indeed that is actually my problem. I cannot vouch for proper connectivity between the sensor and the ECU, and I can also tell you it isn't soldered (yet). All I can tell you is that replacing the sensor didn't do shhh(burp)t. Recently the engine has taken to kind of a "cycling idle", almost like some 2 stroke engines that is kind of a sine wave between two differing RPMs. I've never encountered a car behaving like this before - any insight?
