Not stock as in aircooled VW Beetle stock. But as in universal Bosch sensor used on many cars/trucks from the mid 80's on.

there is a lot of civics and korean cars here so it's easy to get an o2 sensor from these models, but unfortunatly i don't know whether it is a narrow-band or wide-band,
and i asked here alot about the bosch's sensors but there's none available(in egypt)...
but the other models is widely spreaded here...

generally wide band lamda,s are only used for datalogging or efi systems , if it's connected to a guage it will be narrow band, mte make a good range of sensors and they are made in italy so should be available in egypt

i know there is a lot of good sensors, but the "buying overseas" or any other import goods outside egypt will be too hard to get and too expensive too to get here ,,,
my only option is to get this from here,,,, we have the "auto gauge" a/f gauges here so i'm gonna stick with this brand(i got one and it's install maunal just show the ecu installing procedure and offcourse my car is not ECUed),,, now the sensor issue, is the stock type sensor in many efi cars will work or it needs an ecu or somthing to mesure correctly,,,or just install it in the headers and attach in to the gauge, and what is the wires need in this sensor????
what to do, help
