Ive just replaced mine on an MY98 STi and the symptons were uneven idle, very juddery when driving with light throttle and also **** fuel economy. On a plus side it used to pop and bang on over-run.

Im running an 3" de-cat system and is running spot on now!!!!

Overfueling is the most common symptom. Very easy to replace.

We sell them for £64.99 delivered the next day.

Very easy to change, mine is located just after the turbo (Downpipe) and there should be a white plug where the lambda connects to the wiring loom. Think you need an 21mm spanner to unscrew the sensor from the pipe... Make sure its un-plug first
