sorry bout that the org was givin me shizzit, neway...order your sensor, (the oem style one) for 65 dollars SHIPPED from www.oxygensensors.com, then wait till it comes in, buy a 15 dollar O2 sensor Socket (any automotive store should have one!)
then come home, open up your hood, and find the clip that is RIGHT on the front of your engine, and follow its wire down underneath the car, to find, in the front bend of your y-pipe, your front left o2 sensor...use the o2 sensor socket to get that thing outta there, then toss the old sensor, put a small amount of ANTI-SIEZE on the threads of the new sensor, GET NONE ON THE SENSOR< YOU WILL BLOW IT!!! THREADS ONLY, and put the new sensor in, clip that sensors wire to the clip on front of your engine, and BAM, you will go from 15mpg back to like 20-25!
good luck, if you have any further questions hit me up on aim

I just did this yesterday...first, I pulled the code (thanks org!)
then, I bought the part (thanks Downtown Infiniti!), then I SEARCHED
the org for install help (thank org!) and then did the install!

total effort --> 20 minutes, and some blood (woops!)

I didn't buy the "O2 socket". Instead, I used a 7/8" wrench -- worked like a charm!

moral of the story -- USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!! IT IS YOUR FRIEND!!!

happy birthday to Canada and the U.S.
