: > My stock `00 Civic needs a O2 sensor, is a special tool needed Not to remove, but to replace. You need a special socket (about $5) that has a slot down the side for the wires. To remove you just cut the wires of the old one and use a normal deep socket, unless you plan on keeping it... Go to your local auto parts store and look for an Oxygen Sensor Socket. The size is 7/8", like a large-sized spark plug. > (question > two, should I replace both O2 sensors (matched set?) even though only > one of um is bad) ? No need to replace now. When the downstream is bad, you'll get another MIL illumnation. The two sensors are used for different purposes and do not depend on each other. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Thanks, I looked at (and bookmarked) the FAQ at
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ - one thing I didn't see mentioned but am curious about, OEM or after market O2 sensor ? My local auto parts store (Autozone) gets $ 72. for a generic, $ 85. for "OEM", Honda dealer wants $ 190.00 and thats for the part only. -- Rob Fruth - Houston, Tx http://www.rfruth.net 1981 Raleigh for errands & fun ____ __o 1997 Trek 2300 for real fun ! ____ _ \ | _) 2000 Civic hatchback (_)/ (_) spam the Federal Trade Commission thats |
