I had some guy fix the oxygen sensor. the car started stoling it neva did that. so i took it else where now the diagnostic said it's the same sensor that was replaced. now the guy fixing it is saying he's having the same problem that the wire's are too short. What do i do? I can not afford a new car and need mine

Hi katierose79,

The O2 sensor is not of the correct type since its wire is too short. Get the correct type and it should solve the problem.

O2 sensors do not work if it is incorrect and some cars do not accept after market replacements.
