you can just use a generic sensor $15 at pep boys and splice the wires.

Bosch 13913 for '86 Ford Taurus worked for me. Just splice in the wires. Crimp not solder. Can be had at just about any FLAPS for less that $30. -J

I used the Taurus one, also...

[dcarlson]

thanks for responses/suggestions - just trying to get one that will be direct fit and not require splicing, etc. Suppose I'll have to get old on out first to match it up to something

Pelican does list it:
Bosch O2 Sensor for 911 (1986-89), 911 Turbo (1986-94), 911 C2/C4 (1989-94)

But it's $134.50. I spent about $100 less by going to Autozone and picking up the aforementioned Bosch 13913 for an '86 Ford Taurus and splicing it into the old connector. I used weatherproof butt connectors to connect the wiring and then wrapped the whole thing up tightly with electrical tape.

thanks, appreciate the suggestions. Hope it has some positive affect on poor running motor I've been trying to sort..

It won't, throwing parts at a problem may or may not fix the problem. The role of the O2 sensor is minimal. If you can't find a Pelican to help you out take it to a good performance Pcar shop for diagnostics.
BTW, what is the problem? Poor running covers a huge spectrum.

well... found a vac hose off at back bottom of throttle body - re-connecting helped a lot but still have a missing/hesitation when acceleratlng..most still telling me I likely still have some vac leak(s) . this came on suddenly with no deterioration in motor performance over time...have done wires, cap, rotor. fuel filter, air filter, DME, new coil. will try some new plugs I guess but will be tough for mew to get at them. . Starts, runs, idles good but just when accelerating .. it is obvious that something is holding motor from taking off normally..

The Taurus 1996 sensor is a four wire. How did you make this work with the three wire a 3.2 liter uses?

86, not 96.
