I have a 97 civic HX, i need to replace both oxygen sensors, and i got the downstream fine but no one seems to have the upstream. Well, I found the upstream but its $350 to order out of virginia and the dealership wants $500. F*ck that theres no way im paying that much for a sensor.

Now im wondering, i know the voltage outputs of the sensors are different but is there a different model (ex, dx.....) that will put out a similar voltage output that i can use instead? I only need it to pass inspection.

24542 for automatic $59.85
24300 for 5spd $355.85
both NGK's, both before catalyst and DAMN that 5spd one is HIGH

 

well of course i have a 5spd lol. i work at a parts store, i found one made by standard part number SG335 for $60 and i ordered that from Ohio, and now my warehouse is saying they cant find it and they never stocked it blah blah and it superseeded to another part number SG2165 which is also $300. and like i said the dealership wants $500 but im not paying that much for an oxygen sensor

thank you tho

 

hx= 5 wire wide band o2
the rest =4 wire
you can install a regular 4 wire sensor but your still gonna throw a code unless you get a regular ecu and swap some wires around on the ecu connectors and on the o2 disconnect

 

I have a regular ecu, this engine is all stock its for my winter rat. do you know which wire i would have to move around?

 

?

 

HXs are weird and very picky about the O2 sensor, they're just plain expensive, it is what it is.
