ok this is GOT to be my lat thread regarding this.

i was getting a code 43 after running seafoam so i figured it killed my o2 sensor.

i have a 95 obd1 h22a1 prelude (vtec) and i purchased a OEM brand new 1998-1999 (not sure what year) accord non vtec 2.3ltr o2 sensor.

they are both 4 wire o2's (one white, one green and 2 blacks)

but they had different plugs.


therefore i cut the plugs and rewired it using the stock prelude plug and the new o2 sensor.. I added bout 5 " in length, also.

I am still getting a code 43, shitty gasmilege , and horrible BOGGING...

what should i do!

 

First question, why are you using an Accord O2?

 

brand new for 40$ oem honda

 

4 wire honda o2 are the same, you may have wired it wrong, also, my o2 wires came exposed and touched and it fried the o2 part of the ecu causing the o2 cel to always be on, that could have happened

 

well the cel only comeson sometimes

but the car runs like crap all the time


man this is such bullshit

the car is overheating now too

 

Shoulda just spent the extra 40 bucks and got the oem prelude one. Probably woulda saved you some trouble.

 

i dont understand

 

its probably not th o2 sensor. it is probably the wiring to the o2 sensor or the plug itself. especially if you just reused the prelude connector. that might be your problem. sometimes the pins pullout.

 

Huh...how much is the o2 sensor from honda? I'm lloking for one for my JDM H22 application and they are talking $125.00 is this correct? Can you point me in the right dorection if you can find them for $40 buck!!!

 

bro i had the EXACT same prob. cut off the excess wire

some reason it throws the code with excess wire

 

Why don't you guys just buy the right o2 sensor? It would make sense that that would correct the problem? What the hell are we talking about?..........

BUY A DAMN O2 sensor!!!!!!!
Stop trying to short cut things........

really? cause im running like 2-3 extra feet of wire for my accord with a jdm h22 in it... (cause of the turbo downpipe) and im not getting any codes...

 

thanks for the commnet! I WILL shorten the wire.. thats got to be it!!!

anyways

i got this o2 sensor for 40$.. its OEM and it is 4 wire...


why would i pay 100$ for a bosche univerisal, that will prolly trip the code anyhow

or 175$ at a dealership (imo waste)

 

Depends on how much you care about your car........I'd rather buy a $1300 dollar Hoe than a $15 one..................get the drift

^^ - By the way, thats the only thing i could think of off the top of my head ..........

You pay for quality and longetivity guess

 

i doubt a 1300 dollar hoe will suck dick that much better than a 15 dollar one, to be worth 100times the price,

 

) Thats friggin hilarious.........

Yeah - I agree though.
