Default Oxygen Sensor

Hey, I have 1994 acura integra LS and I plan on replacing the O2 Sensor because it is the original and We messed it up. So I went to kregan autoparts and they have a bosch universal O2 Sensor....but theres no plug...I have the original plug on my old O2 sensor but the wires are different colors...how Would I know what wires are for what?

P.s. I cant afford a $270 honda OEM.

Seems pretty self explanatory to me. I just hope you do it the right way and solder your connections, then shrink tube over them.

Did you solder or crimp them? I thought you weren't supposed to solder because of voltage variations (it doesn't make sense to me, just what I've heard).

A good crimp will do the job. Just make sure it doesn't chaff near the piping.

It's the other way around. Crimp connectors aren't as good of a connection as soldering.
