Regarding http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/faq/o2sensor.html


I needed to replace my front exhaust pipe on my 1989 Saab 900 and could not
remove the old 3-wire oxygen sensor (I even placed it in a vice and cranked
on it, but no loosing what so ever).  I assume no anti-seize compound was
used during installation - if you want to ever replace the O2 sensor w/o
replacing the exhaust pipe, remember to use anti-seize compound.

I read in this page of the Saab Network about substituting the recommended
1989 Saab 900 oxygen sensor (Bosch PN 13028) with the 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0L
V8 (Bosch PN 13942), splicing the Saab connectors on it.  I referred to my
Saab repair manual regarding the oxygen sensor, and it said that the
resistance between the heater wires (the two white wires) should be 4 ohms.
I tested the Ford O2 sensor I bought and it measured 3.7 ohms (which I
believe to be a sufficient match).

The dealer quoted me $296.40 for a new Saab O2 sensor and I bought, spliced,
and installed a new Ford O2 sensor (which was in stock) for $39.99.  Note:
soldering did not work well to splice the wiring, which I believe is
stainless steel, crimping is more stable.

I thoroughly appreciated the accurate information I got on this subject from
the posts on The Saab Network web pages.  The exhaust system is working well
and I anticipate improved gas mileage!  This information saved me as much as
$260 on this one part alone!  Thank you!
