I am replacing oxygen sensor on my accord with 180k - yes, the original OS..i wonder if Bosch OS would be fine or should I stick to NKG OS? NKG OS costs twice than the bosch one. Any difference between these two brands?

Thanks in advance.

price is your main difference. i have had experience with 2 bosch universals, and they did the job for me. i used one on my turbo civic with a seized o2 sensor and one on my buddys 2nd gen teg with a seized o2 sensor when putting on header. the bosch comes in 2 types, the universal which u have to cut the harness plug and do a little wiring for $65 or so. then theres the bosch OEM replacement direct plug in which is about $120.

 

I swapped my stock O2 sensor in my 98 Accord EX with VTEC 4 cyl for the Bosch universal and followed the wiring to the tee, but my check engine light has not gone off. Any ideas?

you sure the check engine light was for the o2 sensor? grab the code and double check to see whats wrong.

 

I had the code checked b at the autozone near my house and we checked in their computer and it was for the bank 1 (exhaust manifold) O2 sensor. So that is why I am stumped I am think that may the wire didn't get a good enough connection to each other. Do you know what Class O2 Sensor the the stocker is?

try erasing the code, and see if it comes back on again?

 

How do you erase the code?

Thx,

pull fuse #13 in the passenger side fusebox for 10 seconds or more. the fuse is lableled clock/backup. it is NOT the one that says ecu
