I'm having connection issues with the replacement drivers side oxygen sensor. The connector on the wire harness is suspect. I was going to replace the connector with a new pigtail but it seems that I read something in the past about that not being a good idea. Possible high resistance at the splice. After all we are dealing with millivolts here. If that is a bad idea what would you guys recommend? All comments are welcome. Thank you in advance. - Brad

Unless your splice consists of stripped wire twisted together and covered in electrical tape, you will be fine. A proper crimped butt connector will have no problem, and will be good for years to come if proper waterproof sleeve is used.

People write all kinds of bogus on the internet.
