I posted earlier about my SES codes and diognosed it to be a defective O2 sensor. Now I have the option to choose from three brands:

Walker
Denso
Bosch

From experience, I am leaning towards the Densor selling for 72.98 with free shipping... anything else?

Also - cheapest source for coils? Mine need to be swapped as it shakes during accelerationg and during certain RPM idle speeds... and is a bit sluggish on acceleration (while at it I think I am gonna swap the plugs and airfilter too... early 90K service )

 

bosch 02 sensors are japanese too. infact not the spark plugs. i bought all 4 for my 01 nearly 2 years ago and got 55k without any problem they still running fine but soon they will expire and i will go for bosch again.

 

I just bought a New Denso O2 sensor off of ebay for $28. Direct fit no splicing.

Installed over weekend, works perfectly.

 

Link to auction?

 

I'm using Bosch universals and I'm having no problem with them.

However, I couldn't get a direct fit sensor for near that price back when I did the install. $28 direct fit is damn cheap.

everyone seems to go for Bosch, so my vote goes to Bosch

Will that work? The part number is sorta off but shape seems to be the same...

 

I bought 2 new front Bosch O2 sensores when I installed my Budget y-pipe and a universal Bosch for the rear O2 sensor. No problems or CEL have been experienced yet...though I do have a KS code...sucks.

 

look for the same part# or else you will end up getting refund.

 

I just got a Bosch and its fine.

 

Denso part# 2343098, This one will fit both the front sensors.

You can email him directly at:cbsautomotive@bellsouth.net

Excellent seller and very fast shipping.

 

Also, if you need a knock sensor, I bought this one for $64, installed it this weekend, works great.

Once again, excellent seller and quick shipping.

 

I need a rear sensor though, the one right after the cat...

 

Here's the link for Denso part numbers.

I would email cbsautomotive and see if they have the one you need in stock and pricing.

 

stay away from bosch!
i bought an o2 from ebay but never installed it, looked new but it wasnt universal. about 28$ or so. i would buy denso or walker.

 

Okay so now that we established the cheapest place for an O2 sensor - what about the cheapest place for Mitsubishi coils??

 

Well I bought my Mitsubishi coils a couple of years ago at Courtesy Nissan. Think they ran about $55 a piece.

 

Anyone heard of Himitzu? I found a place selling them for 38 a pop...
