I dont think the wireing harness part matters, that was my main concern, just as long as I have the right wires connected up. Your thinking about the o2 sensor its self me thinks, which I dont think would make a difference either, because all it does is senses some **** in the exhaust which sends a signal to the ECU. Any idea why I would be getting an o2 sensor high voltage code for both o2 sensors, even before I swapped in the new harness?

It's all done off resistances and the chances that it are the same are slim because it's for different computer set ups (OBD I and OBD II). Thus the signal it sends would not be correct and would cause the motor to incorrectly mix fuel and air. But if the plugs are the same, try it. I used one off a 97 Plymouth Breeze on mine, same wires, different plug. Or pull the plug and match wire positions. Still don't think it's gonna work right, but can't hurt to try. You won't kill the motor or computer, just send it bad signals.

By going to all the junk yards in El Paso... ha ha!.... when I get paid... damn.

And if I just use the Harness that runs down to the O2 sensor and not the O2 sensor off the 94 but one that is made for my Jeep would that work? My whole question was if anyone had a good guess as to what wires I should put together anyways.... how'd we get off that subject? And anyone know why befor I had these problems I was getting a high voltage code for bank 1 and 2 02 sensors? Thanks for your help guys!
