Well I was driving to work the other day when it was snowing and I hit a huge piece of ice, then my check engine light came on. I knew exactly what it was... The Primary O2 Sensor that plugs into the header, but what I didnt know is exactly what had happend to it... Well crawled under there to check it out and the connector on the Sensor side that connects to the sensor extension cable had the wires ripped out of it when I hit the peice of ice..The sensor is probably still fine just no way to plug it in

, anyone know how much one of those sensors cost? I know they arent cheap.. Hopefully I can get them from the Auto store and not have to go to honda to get one..

Anyone have any thoughts on my situation???

Well Autozone is telling me $219 for the sensor... WTF is that all about..

Wow, that's really expensive.

Have you tried places like www.car-parts.com or www.recycler.com yet?

Good luck.

I see.. Well if you must, then do it.
What about the warranty though?

I was talking about voiding the 5 year warranty.

But if yours is finished, then no worries.

Mine was only a 36/36K warranty..

Since its only 1/4 if the price of the original you might as well give it a try..

If f'cks up, you can return it..

Exactly my thoughts..

94_AcCoRd_EX · 01-10-2002, 02:12 PM

I'd give it a shot, and if it works, great. If not, you're not out too much money, and you could possibly return it.
