(More customer reviews)Two things to know before reading this review:
1) I am an incurable miser...in extremis!
2) This sensor HAD to work as I had to smog check my car to renew its registration...just before leaving for a 3-month trip!
I have a 1999 Ford Contour SE Sport 2.5L V6 and "mistakently" ordered this part (should be 250-24302!) because another website said it was meant for a failing pre-cat. Turned out to be the cheapest O2 sensor (w/FREE SHIPPING) on Amazon, something near to every Pinch-Penny's heart! When I discovered the discrepancy by consulting Walker's website, I promptly searched for more info. This sensor apparently is meant for the Ford Econoline E-series vans. I also found that so-called "universal" sensors would substitute equally well for my car and the vans. I presumed, therefore, that the only difference would be the connector. I fretted about this until it arrived and found alternate sources for the correct part should my assumption prove fatal. As you can probably tell by the 5-stars everything worked out great! Removing the part from my car it looked identical to this one (same threads, same configuration, same wire length, etc) EXCEPT for the connector. Furthermore, the connector was easily disassembled and swapped so that in 5 minutes, I had it ready for installation. It even came with anti-seize compound! Because of Ford design the part was difficult to access but well worth the effort: the car runs better now and passed smog with amazing numbers!
I wouldn't recommend my substitution but I'm convinced this part would work adequately for its correct usage, too. I also ordered the CORRECT post-cat (Walker 250-24001), which worked well.
