oxygen SENSOR, Civic, 3 Door, VX Model, Federal 93-94 $452.75
Electrical - Powertrain control - oxygen sensor
oxygen SENSOR, Civic, 3 Door, VX Model, California 1994 $196.76
Electrical - Powertrain control - oxygen sensor
So uhh, I'm guessing since I dont live in California, that I should be ordering the Federal one? Why the hell so much just for that? Is it possible to use the California one anyways because its hell of a lot cheaper? I could probably find a motor for that much. You guys think its worth it for this part? Engine has 108,000 miles. What do you guys suggest I do? Anyone know of any USED VX O2 sensors?

So I just installed my new Bosch O2 sensor from AutZone and the car doesn't bog or jerk anymore but now my CEL comes on all the time and I still get the same code 48 and then a code 41 now.
41 Primary Oxygen Sensor - Heater circuit malfunction
48 LAF Sensor (Lean Air Fuel) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor
You guys think the CEL will go away forever if I reset the ECU or watever? Only thing I have to test now is if I get good gas mileage.
