Maybe that unit uses the old NGK sensor that
sells for $349 (or did; wonder if the arrival of
the Bosch unit has given them the kick in the
nut-sack they deserve, and price improved?).

You can buy a new NTK for 169-199.00,
The Bosch 7057 is 29.00 + Shipping

Ntk should not be kicked in the *******,they should be kicked where their sensors live,
in the bunghole.

Is this the correct way to clean o2 sensors? I've also heard something about a propane torch?
