this is a continuation of another post..i currently have a problem where when i start my car about 30s-1m into running the idle drops LOW and almost dies then jumps back up...does that once or twice then its good to go....itll also do this if your driving and the more you hit the gas the more it dies..so i know this isnt just an idle problem...i recently replaced my 02 sensor and discovered something...when the wire is cut to the 02 sensor there is NO problem...but of course i have to look at that CEL all the time...i hook the sensor back up and the problem comes back...whether the engine is hot or cold everytime i start it up itll do this....any idea why the 02 would do this?????

Is it a bosch O2 sensor?
Thats most likely the problem. AcDelco or anything other then Bosch O2 sensors. I found that out the hard way.
Ditto that. ^ ^ ^
I won't put Bosch ANYTHING on any of my cars, unless they're specifically supposed to have it according to the OEM, after some of the luck I've had with generic Bosch replacement parts like O2 sensors and spark plugs. I've had lousy performance from both, and will only use ACDelco parts on my General Motors vehicles.

It might just be the brand, but when i had a bank 1 sensor 1 issue, i had to replace that o2 sensor. I replaced it with bosch, and my car ran better with the Stock dead o2 sensor then the New bosch plug. Do a search, its pretty much Quaoted by everyone not to use bosch.
And wells is ok for wires and a few other things, other then that they are cheap in price and quality.
from experience at a dealership, i'd stick to the delco parts...
