Default need new O2 sensor

i'm pretty sure my current one is out. the check engine light is always on and the self diagnostic says that's what it is. don't know if i should get a stock honda one or some other brand. i don't want an ultra expensive one, just better than stock if not too much more than that. any suggestions?

also, the ecu runs in a set mode if the O2 sensor is out correct? i tested my car with a g-tech and only got a reading of 120 hp when i should now be getting btw 132-140. i was at 132 last time and since have gotten several upgrades. would a bad O2 sensor effect performance that much?

have u tried checking your o2 with a multimeter? i think mine is giong too cuz i keep getting cel on it. but those o2's are sure more expensive than what i had i mind . but how is that g-tech meter working for u? i got one too and its just a pain having to enter the weight but its fun to play with. anyway, try running a check on your o2 .

didn't think of that. i'll have to check it tomorrow. but somehow my performance is off ~20 hp. i have a hard time with the weights too on the g-tech. but using it i've found how sucky of a driver i am. need to work on launching. pretty good though for a $100 dyno.
