at the top of the forum there is a thread called: "READ HERE BEFORE POSTING, RB Swap & Parts Info"In it is:"RB series replacement part numbers, etc"

Through that i found:
Carl H wrote:hey all.ive found an o2 sensor that works.its from a 1984 200sx with the ca18et engine.has the right wires and has the same cable length as the rb's.seems to work well for me right now.
BTW was the swap just done or has it been running and just developed the stutter? if the swap was just done how old is the gas? try to post as much information as you can about your car and setup and what is going on so people can help you.

well that sounds like a lack of fuel

the injectors might be dirty

id say try a $5 bottle of fuel treatment and see if that works before buying other parts

check the computer for codes first, i had the same problem. It was the MAF but, i replaced that, it still studdered real bad. I figure the injectors clogged and the MAF tried to compensate eventually ending in its demise. ended up having to change the fuel filter, and all the injectors, there was crap stuck in them.
