O2 sensor for 6 bolt! 1st or 2nd gen?

[jessicas gst]

Hey, my car caught on fire yesterday and burnt my alternator wires and my o2 wires.
Without the wires to compare im not sure what o2 i need 1st gen or 2nd?

Its got a 16g if that helps.

You need one for a 2g though 1g and 2g will bolt in though get a one for a 2g.

Thanks for the quick reply!

You use the sensor that matches your electronics.

Any one know where to find a cheap O2 sensor?

Autozone was the cheapest I could find.

What goes to the little post on the alternator? Pos to large post but cant find anything for the little post. Where should the little post be connected to?

 

[steve]

Nothing goes to the little post. I'm pretty sure it's a case grounding point in other applications.

 

[jessicas gst]

Oh really?
I thought it would be positive out.

That's the big B+ stud that runs to the alternator fuse. The only other wires to the alternator are the 4 (2G) in the plug.
Measure the resistance of the small stud to the case. I think you'll find 0 ohms between the two.

Yep your right. However the alt still wont work... Could a tiny fire fry the alt? maybe the fire melted the wires and shorted it?
I replaced the fuseable link is there any other fuses tied in to the alt?

Thanks again.

I remember checking Autozone once and they told me they couldnt get me the 4 wire (heated) 02 Sensor for my 96 Talon... I thought that was kind of odd at the time.

Dono, I got a used O2 and a alt plug for $20 from a member of the orlando dsm forum.
