I realize I probably know the answer to this question already, but I have to ask. Can we use an aftermarket O2 sensor? $120 is a little steep right now.

That is interesting. Thanks for the input. I think I can get a universal O2 sensor for about $56 from Pep Boys. I like that price much better than $120....

Sorry...haven't been on in a bit, but I just got a new and put it on. It seems to be working great. Try www.sparkplugs.com...they've got a denso universal that runs 49.95. All you've got to do is cut the plug off the old one...they've got the instructions and connections in the box with the new sensor.

after changing it do you have to..
After you change it do you have to reset the computer or does it automatically reset itself? Thanks
