O2 sensor clip broken My pass. side O2 sensor won't stay connected. The clip is broken on the part that the O2 plugs into. Right now, the connection is held together with duct tape(electrical tape wasn't workin out). Would it be possible to glue it back together? How much would a shop charge to replace the entire part. It's not the part that connects to the header, but the part that that part plugs into.....if that makes any sense whatsoever 
If anyone understood any of that, I'd appreciate some help

Maybe you can pick up that section from a scrap yard and rewire it back in the harness.

Maybe you can twist-tie it to something you can use as a brace, hell, I don't know, a popsicle stick. 
If it really bugs you I would just try to clip the section off a junker and wire it into the harness. It's worthwhile to ask, but I doubt GM sells just that section. You never know, though.
Good luck,
Gerald

Are you saying to find the part, take it off, then go and basically do the same thing as extensions? I think I'm following that part, but not sure.
He is saying find the part you broke at a junkyard and take it home and pull each wire out of your broken one and put it in the new one you got from the junk yard and its fixed. Also, if you wanted to, if the piece you broke is large enough you could probably epoxy it.
