at some point, i will be motivated to go check; at the moment i
don't have the time because it's taking me longer to get to work
because my car won't run.... i hate circularity.

You don't know if you've got an Accord or an Integra?

well it's a civic... with a b16 from the land of the rising sun.
provided via a dealer in montreal, and you know how crooked those
canucks are. (^_^)

I'd get a planar type sensor from Bosch. These are more resistant to
contamination than out of date thimble types. Don't care for Denso
sensors. Looks like Honda has good sense to use more expensive Bosch
on some cars. But manufacturers buy in batches, lowest bidder wins.

No problems with Bosch. However, they also re-distribute other maker's
parts. You can actually get a Denso in a Bosch box!

Part number? Photo? Some kind of proof of this?

bosch sometimes recondition denso starter motors, but that's all i've
seen. can't imagine why they'd re-sell denso sensors. no way i'd use a
bosch sensor on a honda anyway.

why do you always flog bosch dude? are you sponsored in some way?
there's no one else on this group i've ever seen agree with you. quite
the opposite in fact - and fwiw, /my/ personal experience with bosch has
been awful.
