Identifying Bosch O2 Sensor

Post by chsmadden »

So after some follies with a bum computer in my Mercedes, I ended up with a spare Bosch #13146 O2 sensor sitting around on a shelf that will most certainly get destroyed before the one in the car goes belly up and I wanted to use it in my first megasquirt project (a little four-stroke lawnmower engine, something that wont break the bank if/when it blows up). Problem is, I can't tell what it is! A whole lot of googling turned up no data on whether it's a narrowband or wideband sensor, and whether it's suitable for use with a megasquirt system. Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about this sensor or if there's a decent method of identifying it (or if the software can do it).
Thanks,
Chris

Near as I can tell, it's a normal 3-wire narrow band sensor. Nothing at all special about it, except for the connectors it's just a generic 3 wire sensor, two wires for the heater, one for the signal, signal ground is through the shell and it has the typical 0-1V non-linear output range.
