Re: need help with o2 sensors

Both codes are for the upstream AF sensor heater.

It is not a plain O2 sensor, it is an AF sensor.

Use the correct identical brand sensor the car was built with. It's either NTK or DENSO.


No Bosch. No Delco. No BWD. No 'O.E.M. brand' made in China crap.

No they aren't. The cat is between the two sensors (unless your cat has a sensor stuck in the middle of it, some do but there's still a good chunk of the cat between the sensors)

You trying to figure out which sensor is primary and which is secondary?

Think about, look, study.... how exhaust has to flow out of the engine through the exhaust manifold, cat, pipes, etc..

Which O2 sensor will the exhaust pass first?
Which O2 sensor will the exhaust pass second?

Re: need help with o2 sensors

job is already done . i need to post some pictures of it soon . i ended up lifting my car and looking at the cat converter and saw 2 plugs next to it that were identical to the o2 sensors that i bought. unscrewed it, matched cord lengths (with old vs new ones) and plugged it back in.

but now i need help getting to my knock sensor in a 2002 honda civic si .

i have no idea where it is
