2 or 4 wire
I've been reading alot about widebands lately. I obviously cannot afford one, but I did hear of people swapping to a 4 wire 02. Why? I searched around but could not find much info.
From what I understood they are heated to produce a better reading? Is there any reason I should go rip out my single wire (93 1.6) and replace it with a 4 wire? Thanks for any help.
Edit: the title should be 1 or 4....dunno where I got 2?

The 4-wire will heat up faster and help your ECU get out of super-rich cold-start mode (helps if you've ever moved your O2 further downstream of the combustion chamber, like some of us), plus it is better grounded, so it may give a slightly more accurate signal.
No reason to rip your 1-wire out if it's working alright, but, at ~$35, no reason not to buy a 4-wire when yours needs replacing.
