Can I change a 1-wire sensor with a 2-wire?

I have a 1993 Geo Prizm and I need to change the oxygen sensor. I bought one online only to find out that it's a two-wire sensor, which is a problem because the sensor that came off of it is one-wire. Is there any way I can splice one of the wires to the connector of the original sensor, or does the thing need both wires to function properly?

connect one wire to ground but away from heat source,

the defective sensor with one sensor is connected to ground internally or through the thread..

the new one with 2 wire is also connected to ground but through the harness.

what you got is heated O2 sensor, the new one with 2 wires.

You cannot splice the wires becuase they have different jobs (each wire has a specific task) and that will destroy your oxygen sensor. Go to a auto dismantler to get one for cheap. or a store.
