O2 sensor (Page 1/2)

Which O2 sensor are we using these days for the 2.8? Options are:

Delco AFS21
Delco AFS22 not sure what the difference between 21 and 22 are.
Denso 234-1001

2 PN same vendor is likely because Some are "universal" ones w/o connector. Avoid them. I'm not digging thru your PN to find that data.

I use Bosch or ACDelco w/ the connector for GM "1 wire" O2.
Make sure All "Grounds" bolted to engine/trans are good.
Tan wire is a fake ground for O2 and dirty/bad will cause O2 problems.
Same type fake ground in my Cave, Ground "Myth" notes

Thanks. Looks like they're both single wire with the connector however, AFS22 has the purple wire. Anyway, couldn't find the AFS22 on Rock or Amazon so I went with the Denso brand.

How are the Delphi sensors?

I used a Denso sensor on my SE, but with my GT I have a line on a good deal on a Delphi

Haven't tried the Delco, but the last 10 years or so, anything AC Delco is just re-boxed another brand, sometimes blatantly so.

Had good luck with the Denso ones.

Bosch 1-wire O2 sensors are garbage.

I too looked for an AFS22 but found the 21 at a good price and went with that for my 88 V6 and it works fine

Last O2 sensor I got was Denso. I'm pleased with it.

what's bad about the Bosch ones?

I just installed a new Bosch sensor last week. I keep getting a lean code. Today a real-time scan showed the sensor was all over the place but after about 4 miles, it leveled out. Going to replace it with an NTK as someone local recommended to see if that fixes the problem.

It usually takes about 30 minutes of mixed driving for the ECM to relearn/reset the fueling, especially when the battery is disconnected and reattached. The only O2 sensor that has performed well on my vehicles has been the Denso 234-1001 brand formally sold under the AC Delco name. I could not find it listed anymore so it may be discontinued. Today AC Delco is just a box that contains a "guess who" lowest bidder brand. As for the Bosch we did some tests a while back and found that the sensor response speed was poor when compared to Denso.

Unfortunate about the Denso. Amazon suggests this GM part
