You're welcome. There are two for the '97 GTP, the AFS123 and AFS97. I recommend using the AFS123. Good luck!

Re: O2 Sensor

I can't speak for the gtp, but I went with bosch when I did mine--way cheaper, especially when you can find them on sale. And guess who makes AC Delco oxygen sensors...

Re: O2 Sensor

The GM OEM AC Delco 02 sensors are made by two companies. Delphi and Denso not Bosch.

On a GTP if you use a so called custom or generic Bosch 02 sensor like found at AZ the air/fuel feedback ratio is near out of spec and fuel economy goes down the drain. Plus they fail prematurely (high failure rate).

Re: O2 Sensor

I agree with Bob, Bosch O2 sensors are garbage, stick with OEM brands.
