[Request] How To Replace Rear Oxygen Sensor

[wtcii]

How many miles are on your car?

63K

what was the code?

If your talking to me, I have no clue. They just told me what was wrong.

[Skippy]

60k is a magic number for hondas....it's when stuff starts to break.

[timot_one]

I've noticed that my O2 sensor first went bad at around 60k, and then went bad a 2nd time at around 140k.  My primary AFR sensor went bad at around 130k.  Skippy is pretty spot on about stuff breaking around 60k.

My wifes went out at 133k...I guess I was just lucky.

Mine has almost 80k and still same 02

i had to change like 4 freakin sensors!they all got effed' up at the same time. . .weird! the map sensor, tps, and both o2 sensors. alot of money!

I need to replace my TPS and o2 Sensor...

I really hope Skip is wrong about the 60K mark considering I hit that about a week ago. :knocksonwood:

LOL for real man. Hey, look a few posts up, I went well over 60k If that helps you feel any better.

[Skippy]

ehh....60k is just a magic number..it's not a guaranteed failure point, it's just the point that I've come across most often when stuff starts to fail.

damm my o2 sensor has been gone for a while now i think its time i fixed that problem because of fuel consumption i will post the price i got mine for once i get it!

[ROLO]

This is the code I got P0141 = Downstream Oxygen Sensor, heater circuit malfunction ... which o2 sensor do I need?

[wtcii]

The best price I was ably to find was about 78 shipped. I forgot the website, but it came from Acura of Peoria. I searched so many sites. They rape you on the S&H.

The one that's on your catalytic converter.

Thanks Tim, I am going to replace it asap.

[Skippy]

You need the secondary oxygen sensor, Rolo.  The one attached to the catalytic converter.

Remove the oxygen sensor from the catalytic converter with an O2 sensor socket (available from pep-boys or auto zone), remove the protective plastic shield from the new sensor, install into the bung, tighten 1/2 turn past contact to seat the crush washer, run the new harness up through the body grommet (silicone spray helps the grommet slip into place and seal correctly), reconnect the harness under the seat, clear the codes, and drive away.

I have done this and I dunno if it is just me but I feel as if I am losing more fuel than before! I got the CEL on yesterday with the code to replace and I have cleared the code after install of new O2 sensor.... what should I check if anything, I don't wanna over tighten the new O2 sensor and it seems to be in tight! Maybe it's all in my head I will see when I drive the car tomorrow where the gas level is at to when I get back and then I will know.

If code is cleared/new part installed and problem still exist due to whatever how long will it take until the code comes back if it decides to come back?
