rear O2 sensor nightmare 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Frank on  Tue Sep 25 12:42 CST 2007 [RELATED]

I think I may have been sent a wrong part regarding the rear O2 sensor. Long story but here are the questions: The old sensor is shot and unusable. The new sensor has about 4 feet of cable when it appears I needed only 2 or 2 and a half. Can I still use the new sensor and temporarily take up the slack or might the new sensor send the wrong info to the computer? It appears my car has the rear sensor just in back of my "little cat" where as the new sensor may have been designed for a model needing more line, like a sensor downstream from the main or big cat.

Any suggestions? I am in a rural area and SOL at the moment. Thanks
