Have you had cars run better with new NTK sensors compared with new Bosch sensors? Or does the signal look better on an oscilloscope? My ignorance is great but I would like to know what data/experience you draw from. Invite Arthur Dalton to weigh in.
The 2 sensors I am comparing are very similar in price. The NTK has a 4.5 ohm heater(same as "direct fit" per NTK customer service) but unfortunately the lead is only 8"" and thus may be at risk for being spliced outside of the car. I was going to solder and shrink wrap but still would like the connection covered. The Bosch has a 19" wire but a 6.5 ohm heater. The direct fit wires are 29" long. George Murphy, the MBCA tech advisor, has used the Bosch 13953 and likes it. We have this website to get the real answer so I am happy to learn if NTK performs better and if the 8" lead is a drawback. Perhaps 8" is long enough to get from the sensor to get inside the car?
Perhaps the moderators know.
Thanks
