i have to extend it witch will ruin the 7 day warranty i have on it. im pissed the bung is located under the motor ....and the connector is near the side of the transmission



what are my chances this o2 sensor is bad, and is their another option i can go about instead of extending my o2 sensor

What? Are you that broke? Buy a replacement new?

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

i picked it up for 40. the new is 80 , i have to pay 20 to extend and install. i had only a certain amount to play with.

do these things go bad easy ..theres no way to test it?

B_Swapped93

yes extend the plug from the harness, you piad 40 for that can be got for 5$ at a pick n pull. how hard is it to extend 2 wires cmon now...

And why does it cost $20 to extend them?

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

$20 to extend wires and clear a CEL? Take your car elsewhere. learn to solder.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

Why does this look like the reverse connection?

B_Swapped93

You're spending to much on "labour" this would be a 15$ job max 5-8$ o2 sensor and 3$ for 2ft of 14g wire plus 1$ for an exacto knife to strip the wire back.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

what?, idk maybe you cant see well enough
it fits perfectly.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

yeah i know , its easy i bet if you know what your doing. i've never spliced any wires together..and i sure dont want to try on this sensor...i will take your advice though and learn because it comes in handy obviously

Whatever you say buddy. I have never seen an O2 sensor in that spot on a Bseries. So good luck with that.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

i think its resting right there, instead of hanging in the back...of the motor...because the o2 and that connector both have the same fittings

egsleepercivic

seperate the O2 wires from the wiring loom then re route them to the back, then tape them back up. I did this with my z6 harness when I swapped in my B16 no need to extend or cut the wires. Also denso direct fit O2 sensors go for like $30-40 on amazon brand new

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

are you sure, this o2 is from an integra obd 1 like mine it fit, i dont need a different o2 i just need to avoid cutting it up so if its no good i can return it for another, im going to suggest it to my mechanic are you sure

Return it already, get refund, then buy a BRAND new one that is a direct fit. Can't believe I'm having this conversation. You don't spend a dollar to save a nickel.

Look at these prices: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...&parttype=5132 ... exact fit Denso is $48 ... and there are ones cheaper than that.

egsleepercivic

here is one from amazon for 35 shipped



OP will try to put some pics up tomorrow to show you what i mean about separating the wires from the loom

also this is assuming you are using your original harness

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

my set is obd2 to obd1

I dont think I ahve EVER heard of someone buying a used O2 sensor... WTF.

B_Swapped93

For that much at least(40.00) i'd pay 3-5$ at a pick n pull tho.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

where i got this o2 is where i get my alternators,iacv etc never had a problem except one time with this alternator..but he gave me another one no problem but this o2 is going to be spliced so ill play with it and see if it works if it dont **** it its only 40 bucks next week ill get a new one problem solved , ill keep you guys posted

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

not really a big deal dude ill get another one next week if its no good everyone's amusing the worse watch it be good...
