02 Sensor swap, now car as jumpy idle after start.

What would cause my idle to fluctuate after a cold start? It may be coincidental but it started occurring soon after I replaced the upstream 02 sensor. What should I look at to stop this problem. I appreciate any help you can offer.

Same problem with my 98 Z24. Used a Bosch sensor the first time and the car ran like crap, changed it to a GM Delco one and it ran just fine. Took the Bosch one back for a refund!

Same thing here, caused nothing but problems. Get that Bosch out of there ASAP and you'll be fine. Seems the Delco is work the extra bucks here.
