On my girlfriends brothers honda civic, he gave up on fixing his o2 sensor on his civic due to he blew a fuse ( he is not mechanically inclined and decided to hand the project off to me). I am a carb guy so i do not know all the ins and outs of 02 sensors.

When the code was read it said it was not getting a reading from bank one sensor. I read online how to test the sensor, and i will check it to make sure the sensor is bad. If it is bad, and the sensor needs replaced, where is a good site to purchase a sensor from. At Advance Auto parts, they said the sensor would be $270. Really steep for his pocket and if he can find a deal that would be great. Can any one point me in the right direction?

 

He should buy a universal O2 Sensor ntk and solder the wires

 

I would suggest heading to www.rockauto.com and picking up an OEM replacement.

 

Autozone has the Denso replacement for $67 and free shipping. No cut wires.

 

I purchased Bosch Premium O2 sensor. Yea, I didn't have to cut and solder wires which would have been a pain in the butt. $50. I used coupon codes for advance auto only paid $34 for mine.

 

yeah DENSO oem from autozone is under 100 dollars get that one never use bosch on a honda. either NTK or DENSO.in fact when autozone didn't get my denso sensor on time they offered me the more expensive bosch one at no extra cost i said hell no i want my denso.

 

I only run ntk o2 sensors (do to personal bad experience with other brands). Got my last one off amazon.com on sale for 45 bucks and its a direct plug in.

 

denso is an oem sensor.

 

I second that. I will never run another bosch o2 in any of my cars. I will run denso but prefer ntk. You couldnt give me bosch sensor lol.

 

The standard OEM o2s should go for around $60 a pop. I know any ordinary auto shop would charge around $250-$400 just to replace them.

 

well the 04-05 models use the more expensive wide band sensors.

 

Yeah he never mentioned what year. That would be helpful

 

im assuming its a 04-05 from the price he gave 270 is a little high even for a wide band NTK 200-250 sounds about rite.

 

What's so bad about a Bosch O2 sensor? I thought Bosch was high quality? Do they cause any symptoms?
