I'm repairing my O2 sensor wire which has a metal shield. Do i keep the shield part separate from the core part that seem to transmit the signal. this is a one wire o2 sensor. thanks in advance.

Yes you do need to keep the shield separate from the center conductor.

thanks. the mechanic actually redid my splice job and i can see that the shield wire is touching the spade. i had kept them separate when i did the repair but did not understand one part was a shield. Each time the shield touches the core wire I think the computer gets a zero reading for O2 and goes nuts.
