O2 sensor is plug and play and about $130 for a Bosch sensor.

Probably not, they are supposed to be replace every 60K and they go bad.
The plug connection is up in the engine compartment in the back on the driver side rail and it wasn't even dirty.
You can check for a loose connection and have some one scan it to see if it pulls off any faults.
It is a pretty easy job to do and got mine installed in about an hour, but I have small hands and didn't have to pull the rear blower out.

When I did a 3.6 transplant it came with the stock chip. I also had a light weight flywheel installed. I had the known stalling out when coming down to idle. I went with the 91 octane chip from Steve and the car ran with a differant attitude. The main objective was to get rid of the stalling, but I could not get over how much low end grunt was increased with the new chip. It ran like a totally differant engine. You will be very satisfied with this choice.

I went ahead and ordered my chip right after posting here back on 9/4 as I'm anxious to see if it cures my stalling issue. It arrived yesterday so I will install it this weekend and post my impressions. I saw that a group buy had been done in the past so Steve might be open to another one...

SW chip history
My story: Replaced OEM with SW 91 oct base chip. Fine, quicker response, usual noted improvements. Then did Dansk cat bypass and cup primary with cup airbox--upgraded to 93 oct chip with these mods. Quick throttle "Tip in" mid rpm prompts occasional ping (not upper rev, just under load at 2.5k or so, especially when hot/AC.) Timing retard would kick in after a second or so Just "traded" for 91 oct with mods--seems to have cured the ping and feel it is safer, feels a little "slower" throttle reaction (butt). Each trade cost $75 when previous 911 chip returned. Class act, good upgrade IMHO. Personal rec if you drive hard in hot climates with A/C, play it safe with the 91 chip unless you use non-ethanol enhanced top tier gas with some octane boost.

I needed a chip asap and couldn't wait so I had to place my order from 911chips.com.
I mentioned the group buy hoping for a partial discount refund and Steve said that he was not going to do one.
So if you need a chip, then there is no point waiting for a group buy discount. Just jump in

I see another post above regarding a possible group buy. It doesn't look like Steve is going to do it, according to sml
It was worth a try. In any case....Great chip!!!
