which CEL are you getting? (I assume that's why you're replacing the O2 sensor)
the front O2 is used to run the engine.
the one in the cat is to check the condition of the cat.

Re: (Relic1)
im not sure about CEL...explain that to me
The one in the car, is there a code thrown for the cat or is it by visual inspection of that o2 sensor
I would like to replace the one that runs the engine....

the one in the cat can be removed and replaced by an O2 simulator if you want to run catless.
there are different codes for the primary (front) O2 and secondary (rear) O2.
I'm curious... does your check engine light turn on when you start the car?

Re: (Walterronny)
the check engine light comes on for a sec, but it doesnt stay on. I am not running catless and dont plan on it.
so all i need is a new o2 for the front and an o2 sim for the cat ?

Re: (Walterronny)
there is no point in changing o2 sensors if you dont have any codes. it could be other things in your motor that is causing it to get shitty gas milage. obd-2 is really good onboard diagnostics and will let you know if your o2 is going bad or if the cat is going bad. so try and find the source of the problem before you go changing the o2 sensors. if you have access to a digital oscilloscope, you can check yourself to see if the o2 is still good. it should range from .250V-.850V in a 2 milisec frame

Re: HOW many oxygen sensors in a civic 2000 si? b16a2 (rukawa1one)
ok already done the easy ****, clean injectors, plugs, filters, oil.
I dont have obd2. I have a p30 OBD1, conversion down. My dash isnt hooked up properly to the ecu, so it wouldnt tell me if i had a code for a lot of things anyway.

and an o2 sensor is only 24 dollars, and its been 40k miles, so why not?

Re: HOW many oxygen sensors in a civic 2000 si? b16a2 (drumminforev)
could be a dirty/clogged air filter. short ram intakes give you shitty gas milage also. and the obd-1 ecu you are running might be chipped and runs rich, thus wasting fuel. there are many things, but you dont clearly state what is done to the car so people on here cant help you out

you're OBD1? then you don't care at all about the second O2 sensor. It's not used by the P30 at all.
a four-wire O2 for $24??? what kind of hook up do you have? last I checked the lowest aftermarket was $75.
