So question: Auto parts have just a part number on the box, no electrical specifications anywhere to be found (unlike parts you may buy from an electronics supply which have data sheets available online).
Where are the electrical specifications for these parts?
Secret and not accessible to the public or something?
Or perhaps on some automotive industry web site? Automotive engineering web site?

You need to call an apps engineer at a place like NGK. You need tot talk to the guy who sells the sensor in qty 100k. This is not as hard as it sounds. There are entire departments at NGK, Denso and Bosch for this. You just need to act like somebody who is designing an ECU or a car and they'll send you all the data sheets on that part. Treat it like you're an engineer who needs design info rather than a tech who needs to swap a part. For each sensor there are miles of data sheets. Call your sales engineer.
