If it's a 1997 then likely you'll have a Bosch *planar type* oxygen
sensor available. These by design are more resistant to contamination.
You can get them either with OEM plug, or you can get a "universal"
wire if you don't mind the extra work of splicing the old connector
onto the new sensor.

I would not get the Denso sensor. IMO those thimble types are junk.
