Just want to know if it matters if I get an ODB I civic one or prelude one.
And if you know of any good places to get replacements.

The harness is currently ODB I. And I am getting an intermitant O2 CEL after driving around once the car has warmed up a lil. CEL goes away once engine is restarted though..

Thanks in advance.

hmm... we just went to the honda house. and i think both are the same, they look the same anyway. i dont remember, but i dont think its that expensive.. i wanna say like $15.00 or so... i dont remember though, my frend paid for it.

Jason kiDD

What is honda house?

hondaZvic

sorry, maybe thats my texan twang... ahhaha
the honda dealer near you. honda parts department.... ehhehe..

Jason kiDD

lol Well here in NYC its list price is $188 or something to that effect. So if you can get me one for $15 dollars then that would be great..!!

hondaZvic

no ****? 188?... ill ask my frend tonite and make sure how much he got it for. im sure theres no $150 dollar difference bet'n here and NY.. but ill check and see how much he got it for.

Jason kiDD

That would be greatly appreciated.

Any OBD Honda O2 sensor will work. They are universal.

I would personally jump on an OEM Honda HX/VX wideband O2 sensor.

jason kidd, i asked my frend, and he sed he went to AUTO ZONE, dunno if yall have those over there on the east coast or not.. ( just a local parts store) and he got a BOSCH for $20.00 and he replaced it in summer 2002 and he says it still works great.

my o2 sensor was bad also. for some reason when i got my swap 2 wires were pulled off the o2 sensor. so i replace it and bought a denso universal o2 sensor cost me about $75.00 from a local auto store.

Jason kiDD

Hmmn thanks for the info. I will go there tomorrow and see what the prices are..

I'm pretty sure that your was $75.00 because it is a universal O2 sensor. I was told to buy the OEM replace and not a universal one. I can't remember why, but maybe poison can answer that question.

Brandon what do you think?

hondaZvic

whats the purpose of a wideband versus a regular one? i gess?...??????

b16adx

just go to OXYgensensors.com direct plug and play replacements for $50.00 no need to cut and splice wires...... thats where i get mine from and free shipping

Wideband has a broader range. Gives more accurate readings....

Carnut

if yiou run the wideband do you need any changes to the ECUs programming or will it read that range of voltage and interprut it correctly ? the VX/HX had the wideband but will a P13 support such hardware?

Jason kiDD

That is where I was, but they were differing prices. Which part number did you get..??

yeah thats how much it was really was and plus i couldn't wait to drive the H22- EH2. i didn't want to order online and have to wait 3-5 days or so for it to get here. i just bought because it was already here and wanted to drive it after everything was done on the h22 swap.

I bought the oem replacement walker oxygen sensor off oxygensensor.com. It was like $77 shipped. All I had to do was plug it in.

I know it's a cheap replacement, but I have been reading that those cheap replacements, like bosch and walker, do not hold up for long and burn out after as little as 7k miles or so. It might be worth it to buy a new oem one, or find a used oem one w/ low mileage on it.

Mine works fine, as far as I know, but I did notice that my gas mileage didn't change when I replace the 02 sensor(the one that came w/ my swap wasn't bad, but I thought a brand new 02 would help) and it has gone slightly down actually after having it in for 4 months now. Could be the way I drive though or other factors...

That is the funny thing about o2s.. I probably wouldnt even think mine is bad if I didnt have the A/f gauge and the CEL come on everynow and again. I can see that after the engine has warmed up though it doesnt do anything after that so I figure better to replace it from now..

Yep, reason being is because (I haven't seen from others around here or not), but a few people I've came across purchased cheap *** Bosch O2 sensors. They withstand good heatrange and can actually withstand leaded gas and methonal too (for some reason), but don't go out like OEM ones. Bosch O2 sensors aren't bad, but let's just say I`ve seen people replace them more than they need to.

Over a while I have seen OE Honda (which I believe is Denso O2 sensors) last a lot longer.

On another note, wideband O2's like HX and VX sensors allow you to tune A/F ratios more accurately like putting it on a dyno. And it's nice to see that OE Honda came with some on the VX and HX.
