Are you sure it's not a damaged wire? Worth checking just in case. Or the section where it meets the other plug which goes to the ECU? On the 8 valve engines they can sometimes break apart and disconnect.

its definately the new sensor itself, wen i plug my old one back in it starts first time, but it has melted through showing the wire and the car wont run properly thats why i thought it would b handy to get a new aftermarket one at a cheap price.
