Engine sensors

Aight thanks. You don't trust ebay? Or you just think i'm going to get like a generic sensor or something? I mean I've been buying everything off of ebay no problem. Just one time i bought an apex muffler for 20 bucks but i got a bootleg muffler called aspec. but it was kind of obvious that was going to happen.

sensors

might be a dumb question but, are 02 sensors the same as oxygen sensors?
this should work to replace the sensor before the catylic converter right?
I have a 2002 chevy prizm

Oxygen is found in nature as two covalently bonded atoms, forming the o2 molecule.

BTW, I'd buy sensors from a more reputable source than eBay. Check car-part.com or just froogle it.

yes o2 sensor is the same as oxygen sensor and those should fit your car

oh aight. thanks. I always saw those on display jus didn't know anything about them. they seem cheap compared to the prices the dealerships give.

almost any part will seem cheaper when NOT purchased from the stealership.

You should pick up the Bosch O2 sensors from your local Pep Boys, Kragen, Autozone, PAW, or whatever local auto parts shop you got. They all carry it and its a well known brand. O2 sensors are pretty much all the same so sticking to a name brand is foolproof.

work for one for at least a month and you'd agree.

lol. Yea I feel you wit that.

The last time my friend brought his car into toyota to fix his shifter, they purposely unhooked some of his climate control buttons so that he would have to come in again. Such bs. Luckily we caught on and fixed it ourselves.

haha STEALERship LOL

Yeah you're right. I failed to mention warantees. But do they offer warantees on O2 sensors? They don't cost that much. The good thing about buying locally is that its easy to find a replacement and the parts are practically identical in quality is what I meant.

:d

aight

should I get the bosch 02 sensor where i can just use the conectors or get the cheapers one where I have to splice the wires myself? that isn't hard right? It's not like i'll have to take anything else apart right? also are bosch sparkplugs good? otherwise i was recommended denso iridiums. but bosch are cheaper

Just go to NAPA or Autozone and get NGK standard plugs. Look up the part number online. Your car isn't boosted or bottle-fed, so you don't need iridium plugs. Platinums are crap.
