Re: 02 Civic Lx stalling out after camshaft sensor replacement
Thank you for your knowledge I was not aware of this. So when I purchase the sensor I need to get either Mitsubishi or Denso only?
pretty sure that's common knowledge that most OE sensors are denso branded
The problem when people snag sensors at autozone, they don't splurge for the mitsubishi or denso ones, they get the cheap *** duralast-branded sensors that don't play nice, even if they're stamped with the same original sensor manufacturer. Or worse yet, they grab the universal ones that you have to wire in that play even worse. There's a reason why the first thing we ask when people replaced a sensor and have the same issue is, "did you buy it at autozone or did you go Honda OEM?" 90% of the time, the person cheaped out with an autozone sensor.
At the end of the day, it's much easier to suggest to go with a Honda OEM sensor that will knowingly play nice as opposed to rolling the dice on an AutoZone sensor
