I am in need for a o2 sensor for a 92 civic VX with the 1.5 d15z1 vtec-e motor. I have been quoted 373 and up for this sensor new. Is there any one with a cheaper 5 wire o2 sensor or does someone on here have a cheap used one??

Please let me know ASAP. I need this FAST

That O2 sensor is a special kind that has a greater voltage output range than standard O2 sensors on the typical civic. That price is right.

 

Yeah the sensors are wideband so they cost a lot more.

Even sparkplugs.com which is usually cheap is selling them for around 440

I should've never thrown mine out...

 

...wth? You can't use a standard 2 wire O2 in that car? You have to use a wideband?

OH well, guess it makes ur a/f meter not a light show ne more

 

So I cant like convert it to a 4 wire or something??


Or does someone have a used one i could get.

 

You might be able to build a circuit that converts from the .1 volt - .9 volt range to the larger range. Search the web and see if someone else has done this.

 

Search the all North American wrecking yards here:

And lookup the exhaust manifold for your car. They probably still have the O2 sensor still in it. Good luck.

nope, the VX O2 is the NGK L1H1 wideband O2, which as five wires. it's not a simple step up conversion from the normal O2.

you can convert to a standard O2 but you will have to switch to a P28 ECU and chip it with the P07 fuel and ignition maps.

 

So if I get a p28 and run reg o2 will I just have a check engine light.

 

If you wire the 5-wire to 4-wire I don't think it will have a CEL.

 

how can you make a 4 wire into a 5 wire. I know how to wire the connector part put what about on the sensor part of it

 

I think he means to convert to the 4-wire O2 and run the P28.

running the 5-wire with the P28 will set CEL
running the 4-wire with the P07 will set CEL

 

I have a used stock VX 5 wire O2 sensor I will sell you for $150 shipped. Its confirmed to be working, I had no problems with it when I was using it for my wideband. Let me know.

 

So if I convert to a 4 wire and p28 is all i need is a 4 wire o2 sensor and the ECU...or do i need the entire harness

 

i have a vx with the same problem. Im using a p28 with the vx motor and vx o2. I have a cel but when i used my 4 wire o2 from my 93 dx motor I still had a cel. soo... can i use the 4 wire o2 and the p28 on the vx engine????? I "think" maybe not cause of the egr crap but i might be wrong.

You need to right ECU is what you need. Running the P28 WILL continue to throw a code until you rewire the car for the 4 wire. You can't just put one in and expect it to work. Then when you are done, the EGR crap won't work either.

 

So how do you wire the VX for a 4 wire??

I saw something about to run a GSR motor but thats not what I want.

 

i have my barely used VX o2 sensor in my garage if you want it. 80 dollars shipped and it's yours. still works perfectly. my gas mileage improved by a ton.

bought it brand new from the dealer and used for a couple of months before i went to b-series.

 

ebay is your friend... item #130009421690

not me but he has two of them for sale... http://motors.search.ebay.com/...yer24

 

Dude, I have an HX which uses the same o2 sensor. Buy it from Canada. Mine was $250 from an actual Honda Dealership. The dealership is Hamburg Honda, the phone number is (905) 357-2471. Good luck!

 

I actually ordered a p28 and swapping to a 4 wire o2 sesnor. That sucks that I couldnt find the dang ebay auctions for them yesterday or something and ordered a p28 last night

I'm not going to teach you how to read a schematic and use a meter. Not trying to be mean, but if you REALLY wanted to rewire it, then you would pick up a manual and get to work.

 

I have a vx with the 4 wire o2 and p28. No cel, it was really simple to rewire it once you figure out the schematics.

That is kinda my point. Although your chipped P28 might also have the O2 disabled as well....

 

if you disable the o2 wont it run rich or lean. Which ever??

Also vxturbo....Do you know what wires and stuff you changed??

Is it the same as this here
