i have break it down to 2 brands....NTK and Denso. have done some researched already. universal or identical? i picked identical.

only help i needed are- who can find me the cheapest deals out there? please give me the part# and name of website.

1992 cx, 1 wire i believe. stock D15B8.

 

can somebody prove to me that the universal are good?

 

somebody please let me know if my car is a 1 wire, 2 wire, or 3 wire.

 

NTK or Denso are great - Bosch sucks *****.

1992 CX is a 1-wire 02 sensor.

Do you want the OE honda part number, or what?

 

BTW get the direct plug-in type, not universal.

Honda part # 36531-P05-A02

NTK product # 24609 - I looked this up on my wholesale account with a company called World Pac, and my shop's cost on this part is $74.85.

 

I would choose denso just because i see denso's name on honda parts, like the cluster for example.

1 wire. unless your not using the cx harness.

theres a site i just found from google, i wouldn't argue with paying around 60 for a brand new o2 sensor.

 

Its a single wire O2 sensor. If it were me i'd buy denso or NTK, Denso would technically be perfered as they actually make the sensors for honda in the first place, but NTK is a close second, stay away from bosch. As for where to get the best deal, look around, call parts places locally, check online. specify that you want Denso or NTK, if not they usually just give you a price for the cheapest brand of sensor they carry.

Edit, i guess i waited a little long to post that, there were no posts when i started to reply

 

thanks guys! i'll prolly go with Denso. still trying to contemplate on universal or identical.

what's the downside with the universal ones?

is it hard to replace O2?

You have to cut the plug of your old O2 sensor and splice it onto the new one

It can be, it all depends on badly its rusted into the exhaust manifold, theres a special wrench available for O2 sensors, it car really make your life a lot easier. Otherwise use a 22mm wrench. Sometimes they are extremely difficult to remove, other times they just come right out, if they don't use salt where you are it probably wont be that bad.

 

sup guys,

i just ordered the universal one(Denso) from sparkplugs.com. they're only $17.95 plus shipping and tax, comes out to 28 something, not bad. found a mechanic that will do it for $35. i will try and bargain him down to $30.

i hope this will solve the CEL, the jerking, the bogging, and the choking, that's been going on for weeks.

 

update:

i guess the o2 sensor really do solve that cel problem. so far my car hasn't been bogging, choking, or jerking. shipping was super fast by that company. although i do kind of regret not getting the identical one. the wires are a little longer than the original one.

i paid a mechanic to install for $25, and man all i gotta say is that it looked so easy!

on to the next problem...

 

question:

is it ok that he got a little bit of silicon on the holes of the o2 sensor?

 

forgot to tell you guys that the car runs a lot better.
