Default CRV EX 2003 Throws P1166 code

From what I can find this indicates replacing the Air /Fuel Sensor which is the front sensor on the cat converter. Car has about 116K

The part I came up with is a Denso 234-9005
The original part is a 192400-1101 Denso

Should I just replace it or is there something I should check before doing so.
The part is not cheap, is there any other sensor that work as well for less $$$?

Thanks!

Thanks For the info....

Thought I'd post some info to benifit other with the same problem.

The fix was to replace the front sensor with a Denso 234-9005 which is identical to the one I removed (has holes in it) See first photo.

I purchased the part from Amazon for $145.00 (Quick Ship Auto Parts) and it was certainly shipped quickly!

When I originally Goggled the code I came across a post which lead me to a very low cost provider of a "UNIVERSAL" Denso sensor from Ebay that was suppose to work in the front and rear positions.
It does not work in the front position and it will give you a code P1158 when installed.

I'm told it will work in the the second position but have not tried it. I'm not sure it's a Denso sensor as there is no identification with the word "DENSO" (Second Photo)

To reset the light drive the car, I stopped shut it off 3 times and after the third time the light cleared.

There should be a pcm reflash for that code ......i would do that with conjunction to the o2 sensor...if not it will come back eventually. there is a TSB on it...just need to run the VIN to see if its within the VIN range.. its not a recall
