Re: 1993 Honda Accord - O2 Sensor continually fails

They are not genuine Honda parts. I've been using Bosch parts - is that OEM or aftermarket? The genuine part is like $180. That's pretty steep compared to $40.

Re: 1993 Honda Accord - O2 Sensor continually fails

It's an EX.

And I've only been able to find one 02 sensor. That was one of the first things I checked this go around, because I thought that maybe I was missing a sensor. So I took the "cover"...

Re: 1993 Honda Accord - O2 Sensor continually fails

Although, if I replace the O2 sensor, the car runs fine for an extended period of time (5-12 months)...

Re: 1993 Honda Accord - O2 Sensor continually fails

I'll try the PCV valve and grommet - that's cheap enough (like...

Re: 1993 Honda Accord - O2 Sensor continually fails

I can smell oil burning after I turn off my car, but I haven't had to add much more than 1/2 quart of oil between oil changes (about every 4 months).

Re: 1993 Honda Accord - O2 Sensor continually fails
