IMO you may as well replace the sensor. If you've got a 35,000 mile
counter, the car is probably using the cheap unheated sensors which
you can find for about $30 (or less). Go for a generic Bosch sensor
for a late 80s Mustang V8. If changed regularly, it's one less thing
to rust into the exhaust system.
There are two basic qualities that you can identify your oxygen sensor by:
1.) Heating element
2.) Sensor material
The unheated sensors have one wire, and are usually rated by the mfr.
for 10-30,000 miles. The heated ones have two, three, or four wires
and are, AFAIK, rated for about 60,000 miles or more.
There are two types of elements: zirconium and titania. I belive most
sensors are found
