Haha, I sure did, and didn’t clean it off, it was on the cat.Wiring? or oily smell? Did you use a penetrating oil before removal? If so did you wash off any left over residue with brake parts cleaner?

I just had a similar experience. Sprayed down the O2s the night before with the intention of changing them out when I was done putting new plugs in... long story short, I got the plugs done and fired it up to see how it ran.... started seeing smoke and thought??? WTH!!! then the familiar aroma of burning PB Blaster hit my nose....lol oooopsHaha, I sure did, and didn’t clean it off, it was on the cat.
one of the best threads evar!
One note, however, the 23159 link for the 04-06 takes you here:
NTK 21003 Oxygen Sensor
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001NY0QQK/?tag=wranglerorg-20
In fact, Amazon doesn't seem to carry 23159. I bought mine from Jegs https://www.jegs.com/i/NGK-Spark-Plugs/739/23159/10002/-1
Looks like you can buy directly from NGK too:

It also seems like my rig runs significantly better when I replace a bad O2 sensor. Is that normal?
And I'm at 80,800 miles. LOL. ThanksYes, that's very normal. This is why O2 sensors are a general maintenance item and should be replace (all of them) around every 80k miles or so.
Even if they aren't throwing a check engine light, they need to be replaced, as they do affect the overall performance of your engine. You'll definitely notice a vehicle runs better with new O2 sensors.

Yep, that's what I would do. And just so you know, the OEM Mopar O2 sensors are NGK / NTK

Wow, that's quite a mess. I have no idea if there are any differences other than the connectors, but this is quite an interesting find.
So, in reality are all 4 cable upstream sensors all the same ? Can anyone shed some light into this?
I have a two o2 sensor 2000 4.0 wrangler and they gave me a NTK 23122. NGK isn't listed. NGK brand is NTK when it comes to sensors. first they gave me a 23506 but that was for the wrong model. anyway I am still getting a po132 code? now what?My mistake, that was a typo in my original post. I meant to say 1997-1999, but I wrote 1997-1998 on accident!
You have the exact same sensors as the 97-98 models as well, which are:
1997-1999
NGK #23151 - Bank 1, Sensor 1 (Upstream)
NGK #23099 - Bank 2, Sensor 2 (Downstream)
So yes, your part numbers you have are 100% correct.
What was the code for your CEL?I had my mechanic swap out all my O2’s and the next day the cel was back. He checked it again and told me to buy a new gas cap. My old cap was keyed but living out in the country i don’t need it so I bought a standard one. Been a couple of weeks and no cel.

Replace ALL of your O2 sensors at once, not just one of them.
After that, clear the error codes with an OBDII scanner, then see if they come back.
