dealership wanted $190.00 napa had 2 one for 90.00 and one for 130.00 why so damn expensive? 98 civic dx

 

Well i have a prob with my o2 sensor as well. I tried an aftermarket one (Bosch), but it wouldnt work. They are so expensive because the resisstivity of the sensor has to be perfectly matched with that of the OE sensor; if not, the sensor will not detect the correct A/F ratio. I would recommend finding a used one at a junk yard, or shelling out the cash for the factory part. Speaking of which does anyone know where a good junk yard is that would have Hondas in MD?

 

Just make sure that they have 4 wires. Some have 1, 2 or 3 wires but our hondas need 4. Lastly anything for the dealer is over priced anyway. Check these sites for cheaper OEM parts

what is your setup?? why didnt the O2 work? cel? my car is just hesitating in 4th and 5th gear under light throttle. changed plugs, wires, dist. cap, and rotor valve adj,... im not gettin a code for the O2 but was gonna replace anyway.. maybe i should just wait and spend the money elswhere

 

anyone have any idea why im gettin this hesitation? dont think its really hurtin performance but i could be wrong i know a bad O2 can make the car run crappy. damn i hate trial n error

 

They are using wideband sensors these days. What that mean? They are MUCH more sensitive and react much quicker than old style school sensors - and MUCH more expensive.

 

ttt

what was the problem with the bosch o2s?? how did it not work??

 

The majority of Honda O2s are NOT wide band O2s.

The VTEC-E motors use one.

Here's a good article on it:
