Sonofa B!!! O2 sensor...Again!
This will make #4 in as many years, all w/in 20K miles. I've done some research on them to understand what the do's and don't are, and as far as I can tell, I'm not violating any rules regarding installation, etc.
I don't have any RTV silicone gaskets, the airway is clear, new valve cover gaskets = NO oil leaking down around or on the leads, using BP 93 octane, exclusively...
Anybody having problems with Bosch (heated) O2s besides me? Maybe I should go back to the OEMs, pricy as they may be...
(BTW, I provided a Bosch rep one of my failed sensors, and he said he would get back to me, after they did an analysis. I think after I left he analyzed his tossing technique with my O2 sensor and trash can. Neither the dealer nor I eve heard a thing from the rep after that.)

Since you didn't mention anything about throwing a code or the prob. w/ the 02 (bl's etc.) You will need to scroll down but here is some related info regarding 02 and ECU:
