Civic EG

the other day when i was driving home from work my check engine light came one..well i checked it when i got home and it was a code 41..the haynes manual said it was something with my o2 sensor heater connector..how do i fix it?? i tried everything the manual said and i just cant figure it out...

Mine is throwing the same code. I talked to one of the techs at work and he told me just to replace the sensor.

I checked at work and the new o2 is for me 140 bucks. its gonna be like 230 for most people though.

Why not just go to the local pick n pull and snag one....(I know some dont have one near them )

However its cheaper and sometimes you score one thats pretty new. The pick n pull near me I can get them for 5.00's off of any civic but then again my car is pretty much here and there peices from the junkyard. Im not one to go and purchase something for alot of money that I can simply make and create from stuff.......But at times i do buy expensive things for the car. so either way you go I think id be best to get a used one right now

I just happen to have one sitting in my other hatch that isnt being used so I will nab that one.

Im sure you can get one from any auto parts store too.

I wouldn't trust a junkyard O2 sensor.

You can find them online for $90. I suggest NGK.

which o2 brand do you all recommend? im not sure which one i want

Just as a thought before you go out and spend lots of pennies on a new sensor.

Did you disconnect your ECU/battery and let it reset after you did the fix the Haynes manual said as the ECU will remember some codes even when the problem has been fixed.

This might save you a few squid

i always trust oem stuff,

but like sushatch said, NGK works too

yeah ive tried everything...i let it set for about 2 days with the terminal off and as soon as i started it back up it threw the same code...

least you have yours plugged in lol. I'm having a DIFFERENT type of trouble with mine anfter my wire tuck...i...uh...cant seem to find where it plugs into.
