ok my 1992 16v manifold was bad(crack) u found i 1995 which is longer and custom made a down pipe everything is good but the old oxygen sensor is stuck/frozen to the old manifold i tried using pb blaster, heat,force, well u name it and it don't come out,sure i can use a breaker bar but i will literally break the O2 sensor
the new/used manifold came with a good O2 sensor accordingly to the previous owner but the plug is different than the previous O2 sensor, i thought about splicing but i found out that the old O2 sensor is a 3 wires the one on the 95 new/used manifold has 4 wires
could it be possible to splice the old plug into the new sensor if so anybody knows the wiring matching?
for reference
Original O2 sensor wires are black-pink-purple
95 new/used sensor is white-blue-black-black yes it does have 2 black wires

the sensors are diff, on calif. and fed car.so you need to tell which it is.
one version has an extra low noise ground.
so you need to find out if car needs a 3 wire or a 4 wire and then buy the correct one using my o2 page.
if if you dont get it correct the o2 will rail and the ECU will go rich and then overheat and crack the new manifold. Glows red hot, that is what kills most MANS.
2nd problem may be OEM o2 lead wires my not fit new long manifold bung location.
so use the universal. 15726 testing-Oxygen sensor
if your car is 4wire do not mix up the 2 grounds on car.
one is for heater
and other is for CELL . (02 sensors cell)

please realize this?
there are 2 color codes. on the car.
Suzuki harness , varies. by year and CAL /FED .
Sensor mfg . all diff. no standard color , between the makers.
because of this, you need to be specific
what car Sidekick 1992, 16v
what market ? you need to say, Calif. OR FED48 or, Canada, or?
if youd put your country and state in your profile i could guess better your car type.
I will begin to guess.
1: car has a VIN (yes or no?) I guess YES.
2: you are in the USA,, ( gee I guess? we get posts world wide) people on islands with Vin cars, for sure.
3:if this a USA car, with a vin then , pop the hood. and look up.
there is a Smog sticker or two.
and Canada cars have Oakleaf stickers here and there on body.
and last , i need you to look at the o2 sensor connector (the body harness side)
is it 3 pins wired ? or 4(dont count holes) just count actual pins that have harness side wires in the pins.
do not tell me anything about the o2 wires, only what is on your harness side.
for now.
only the harness tells me the truth.
and the vin and the smog sticker.
the short manifold was used on 92/93 , then in 93 it was put on the Calif. cars.
then in 94 , this long calif. manifold became the standard for 16v cars both calif. and fed.
all this is complex and is so due to EPA and C.A.R.B rules and regulations at this time.
just give a little more data an we can sort this.

1992 4dr fed 16v auto usa and yes it is a 3 wire
the color on the old O2 sensor are purple,pink,black
the color on the truck harness are red/blue,black and white,pink
just minutes ago i bought the Bosh 15726 now i need help matching the wires, the O2 sensor came with 2 white 1 black
