could that have been bad?

[benjerman112]

So I got a new o2 sensor cause i couldnt remember when the last one was changed. I get the car jacked up, and i got the WD-40 & a wrench ready for battle, I put the wrench to the sensor and it moved and im thinking what the hell so I turn it with my hand a couple truns and its out. So I was wondering if that could have affected n-e thing?

O2 sensors aren't suppose to be torqed down real tight. But to answer your ? as long as there wasn't a exhaust leak there you shouldn't have any problems.

lmao, "ready for battle."

i thought it was going to be war getting it off.

So a lil more than a yr later i'm getting code 1 again. So my question is you guys with h22a swaps do you have problems with your o2 sensors? What sensor are you running with your h22a?

[benjerman112]

So what o2 sensors are you other h22a swap guys using?
Are you having problems like mine? Thanks

[wed3k]

seems like it is looking for an o2 sensor that isnt there. im not too familiar with h22 swaps but if it is looking for a o2 signal then you have to tap into your existing o2 setup and if it is looking for a heater circuit, you need to run a resistor.

The f22a4/a6 O2 sensor is fine for a h22 swap. Just make sure you get a NTK or Denso. Also, what harness did you use? If you swapped over the f22a4/a6 harness, the o2 sensor should plug in just fine with no problems. Just make sure it's plugged in tight. If you had to extend your wires from using a f22a1 harness (wired for the o2 sensor on the manifold), you may want to check your wiring.

Heres the thing the plugs are different from a1 to a6. the one I need is the male end and the I dont know what eng it was for but I got one for the 91 ex but the plug was a female end. So my question is does it matter what yr or model?

[wed3k]

they do differ but personally id just cut the plug off and use the one you need.

[benjerman112]

they do differ but personally id just cut the plug off and use the one you need.

Thats funny cause I did that once!

[scudweiser]

If you used the harness that was in your car already, then use the coinciding oxygen sensor. I think the o2 sensor that came on all 4th gen 'Ludes is the same as what was on cb7 ex models.

[benjerman112]

The only thing is that the ends are different from car to car/ sensor to sensor. you know male and female ends.

[theSOB]

make sure you aren't using bosch

[904drACCORDMANG]

your male/female plug issues come from buying cheap "universal" sensor and cutting the plug and rewire is easier said then done since such sensors all use different wire colors / patterns, alleviate the stress and get a ngk/ntk or denso as stated
