Default 97 850 T5 O2 Sensor

Well, to make a long story short, I got cheap and bought a Bosch O2 sensor that needs to be spliced in. Now, I'm having a hell of a time finding a wiring diagram online.

I was hoping that someone could simply tell me what color the Signal, and ground wires are. I'm guessing the Heater wires don't matter as far as polarity goes, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

edit: Just to clarify I only need to know about the wires already existing on the car.

I'm not sure but if you go cheap, it might be best to get a used sensor from the yard.

Well, I guess I'm just going to have to spend time out in the cold.

Might just end up tossing it in, clearing the code, and swapping wires until the CEL stays off.

Well voltage is reading slow on the stock one so it's not cutting it, if the scanner responds when the throttle gets blipped or stabbed I'll be happy.

If the computer gets a good voltage reading it should keep the light off, I'd just rather get it wired in correctly the first time.

You can drive forever with a bad O2 sensor.

And because the ECU is thinking you're running lean it tries to compensate and your car doesn't run as well as it should.

FYI for those wondering, the wires are the same color.
