Default Need help ASAP!

Hey guys, I broke a wire on my passenger front o2 sensor and I need one asap, am I able to use any 4 wire o2 sensor to replace it? I'm asking because I can't find any for sale online or at any auto parts store and all the dealers are closed today.

Please help!

You have to have one with the correct sensor connector. Not wise to splice them either as O2 sensors get A/F variables through the wire sheath and splicing can affect the readings. Do you need one of the black connector ones or grey ones?

Upstream which I believe is black. The shop that was letting me use their lift got busy so I decided to just wait to fix it until next weekend, and I ordered one off of rockauto.

NP man. These have special connectors on them that I haven't seen before the C7 so I don't expect we will see them available at parts stores for some time IMO.

Perhaps you can get a used sensor from someone who eliminated the O2 sensors if they still do that on the c7.
