It will not work if its a zirconia no matter what size the thread is ! it has to have three wires and it has to be a Titania o2 sensor for the gtir .Some late-model cars use o2 sensors with Titania elements that operate effectively at lower temps and do not operate relative to outside air as dozircvonium sensors ,because there are no reference vents to get blocked.Due to the lower operating temperatures,Titania sensors warm up in as little as 15 seconds and allow the system to begin closed loop( feed back) operations almost immediately. They don't cool below operating temps at idle, and they can be located farther downstream from the engine used with turbochargers ,which bleed off a lot of heat from the exhaust gases.Titania o2 sensors do not generate a voltage like zirconium sensors rather they change resistance drastically as the mixture changes from rich to lean.( taken from the book how to tune and modify engine management systems by jeff hartman ):doh:;-)
