Good news. I purchased an O2 sensor off of EBAY for really cheap
(new), loaned the tool out from Auto Zone, jacked up the car, and
replaced the O2 sensor near the front passenger tire. Total time: 10
minutes.

The check engine light is now gone, and I'm looking forward to passing
my emissions, since my tabs have expired.

Thanks everybody!

OK this is frustrating! Again, the check engine light came on. This
has been consistent since I've owned the car. The light will go away
for a period of time, but then again come back. It's almost like it's
misreading the O2 sensor? Maybe I replaced the wrong one? If I
disconnect the battery, I'm sure the light will go away again, this
time it took longer to come back on. Last time this happened, I was
able to pass emissions since the light didn't come on until I left the
emissions.

Good news, I guess you replaced the pre-cat sensor.

make sure you use oem like denso i am so cheap and this is the only
way i go as much as i hate to

stay away from bosch unless you want more error codes

also the ULEV 4cyl has a different o2 sensor more $$$ make sure you
know exactly which vtec engine you have or more wasted $$$$

most times the o2 on the maniford goes (pre cat) but you really need
to know what code the computer id kicking out to say for sure

last tip make sure no anti sieze gets on the o2 tip when you install

So, does this mean that both of O2 sensors have gone bad?

Thanks,

that's why you need the code - without it, you're wasting time and
money. you can get it read free at many of the local auto parts
retailers. or you can buy your own code reader for as little as ~$60.

OK, so the sensor located after the catalytic converter is in the
front?
