I don't know how it is on your year, but I know the 90 Legacy has two diff O2 sensors, depending on manufact date. You may just want to stick with OEM O2 sensor.

Once the car is running, it never feels like it's going to stall.
The acceleration is pretty poor though. It takes forever to get up
to highway speeds. Standing at a light it idles fine. I don't know
if the previous owner changed the O2 sensor, but probably not. Do
you know if Bosch O2 sensors are okay?
The weird thing is that I don't get a code 24 anymore. Ever since I
fixed the code 35, they both went away. I'll chack it out tonight
and let you all know.
Thanks!

coming to a stop (I have an auto trans). A code should have been set,
also. If you have a code 24, it`s most likely the problem. The O2
sensor should be changed at least at 100k if not at every tune-up
(with platinum plugs approx. every 60k). This won`t affect your
current problem, but performance & mileage will improve. The O2
sensors on our cars run about $80+ as they`re heated intentionally to
help with emissions. DON`T be suckered into an aftermarket unit as
they rarely help. Also, by platinum I should`ve been more specific:
Denso or NGK iridium plugs are your best choice. Hope this helps a
little more as I went through the same thing for awhile & it was
quite frustrating!---ROD (Az.)
