Replacing O2 Sensors

How hard is it to replace oxygen sensors? I need to do the front and rear.

Can anyone help walk me through this? Best place to buy?

what year is your TL
Who said it needs BOTH sensors and WHY
The O2 sensor may be warranty item for an extended mileage

you will most likely have to remove both primary cats, it is very tight in there

remove passenger side fan
strut bar
jpipe
axle shield
and some plastic guards underneath

Could it be I pulled the LAF fuse?

I was looking for something else, light came on afterwards. Would pulling the fuse throw a code? I will reset tomorrow and see if that fixes it.

I got the rearview / power mirrors etc. back with the fuse switch - I am very happy with this forum...

I just brought my car to the dealer for an O2 sensor. I only have 31K miles on the car. Does anyone know if this is a common issue on the TL or just a a fluke.

Grimace-
and the dealer said not covered under warranty?- did you call acura and ask- plus bypass the service writer and go to the service MANAGER
acura-care 1-800-382-2238x5
even if not covered sometimes those conversations wil get you ~goodwill~ repair

Use of cheap Non Tier 1 gas will cause many problems.

Fixed - Fuse issue

I found the cause - the fuse was out marked LAF -

I was really mad at the dealer for not finding this and wanting to charge me @ 700!!!

Thats what happens when techs become mindless scan tool readers. We always have to go thru the proper diagnostic steps before we condemn a part.
