200 bucks is better than what my dealer charged me. 395 then 90 install.

I got it from a wholesale supplier hondaacuraworld.com for like 220 something.

02 gave out around 65k.

I haven't had the honor yet.......I probably shouldn't be saying anything, because now it will happen.

^ Same here! 90k and still on original O2 sensors. *tick, tock, tick, tock*

I replaced all the O2 sensors in my '96 T-Bird (4 sensors total in pain in the ass spots) so if I do have this problem maybe I'll be able to replace 'em myself. *crosses fingers*

You may want to try to use gas from a different gas station.

My friend has O2 sensor problem all year long. As soon as he goes to another gas station, the problem is gone.
