haven't posted in awhile but my check engine light came on. I got the diagnostic report from a local auto shop. they said the rear O2 sensor is bad and needs replacement. Bad news is they say the part costs $500! I did a little research and have found several sites(oxygensensors.com) that have the sensor for as little as 80 bucks. They (oxygensensors.com) have a Walker sensor kit that replaces the Bosch part 13176. Does anyone know if this will work? Any help or experience with this problem would be a benefit. Thanks

If you can get them for $80.00, then go for it. The cheapest I've seen is about $185.00: http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net/...T+PIPE+%282%29 Illustration #20 (if you have the 3.0)

and

$90.00 http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net/...T+PIPE+%281%29 Illustration #28 (if you have the 2.2/2.3)

Funny, I got the same diagnosis from my repair guy in Florida (rear O2 sensor bad), however; I took the car to another shop (Atlanta) a couple of days before and they said there is a problem with the EGR port. If that's the case I understand that there’s a special services campaign from Acura to repair the problem. You may want to get a second opinion before paying for an unnecessary part.

The 3.0 has two sensors??? How many sniffers does it need??

The 2.2 does as well

OBDII....

One tells the car how its running air to fuel ratio wise and the other tells the car that the cat is working.

The O2 sensors have an extendended warrantry to 150K i believe Go to the dealer and ask

So I am guessing that 500 is a rip.thanks for the advice.
