Caution that universal could still throw the code, and they're about the same price as an NGK/Denso replacement. My NGK is due to arrive today at $58 shipped, and a universal one will require cutting into the harness and splicing around, whereas OEM replacement is direct plug-in.
If you do decide universal, just keep that in mind, as well as wire count. (Heated o2 sensors have +/- for heat, then +/- for data.)
Good luck.

yeah...I can't simply wait. soo...I got universal sensor. I'm hoping it better work for long time.
btw how do I take original senor out from my d16? do I take out the manifold and such?

Re: (dorkjoey)
Did this yesterday as mentioned, it fixed all issues we had.
Ahh, I hit up AutoZone and bought an O2 sensor removal tool (the one for "Ford trucks" works, they're all same size, just have associate size-check against a stock Honda o2 sensor before buying.) I figured I'd need a 5 foot breaker and to jump on it, but mine came out with ease. I PB Blaster'd the old sensor, while engine was hot (smokeshow), used the tool on it, and it popped out. Then I twisted it, with harness disconnected (and with a rag for temperature purposes), until it popped completely out. Noticed it was black with white ash, threw it on floorboard, twisted new one in and tightened with same tool.
The tool I'm talking about has a flexible handle and endpoint for odd o2 places. You can also rent one free, but I wanted to have one. :-)
You will however have to remove the exhaust manifold heatshield, which is 3 12mm bolts if I recall. The manifold can stay on.
Have fun, report back!
(Edit; Oh and since yours is universal, maybe cut the sensor side of the harness to re-use the dead sensor's harness, so you can still plug it in easily. Just wire crimps of some heat-resistant type and some heat shrink tubing. :-))
And be sure to tie your sensor off if the wires are long, mine was close to my O2 sensor so I tucked it into some transmission solenoid for now. Permanent fix later.
P.S. I'm just over in Mesquite if you'd ever like any assistance.
