Primary 02 sensor HELL!

[hothatch]

I just recently installed a Strup header,megan test pipe and a 70mm skunk2 catback.Of course with my luck i have a cel on now... I had it checked out today and im getting this code: P0135,o2 sensor,heater circut,sensor 1,bank1

He said that was the only code and it was in fact the primary sensor thats giving me problems,heh and i thought the secondary sensor was the bitch but I did the whole hollowed out defouler and it worked but the primary is whats screwing with me. Can someone please give me some insight on what to do at this point?Im really lost on how to go about fixing this without getting rid of my test pipe for a highflow cat.Thanks for your time guys!

Sounds like you damaged the o2 sensor during the install.

yea seems like your primary 02 sensor is damaged or just took a shit at a bad time

[jtyler05si]

how easy is it to damage an o2 sensor?

[RHCP0801]

well if you take it out and screw it up by or hit it against something you might damage it, or it just happened to crap out when you took it out...it could be a number of things

Yeah, I got that same CEL a while back. You need to replace it.

i think i get the same one but it comes on and when i turn it off it goes away, usually comes on if i drive more than 25 mins.

where can i get a primary o2 sensor for cheap? Anyone know?is there a difference between a primary and a secondary o2 sensor?

[epshtielsl]

I tried looking around then gave up. I went to the dealer and paid like $200something for it.

[hothatch]

can i use this o2 sensor for my primary?

it says it fits but normally primary ones go for a lot of money and that doesnt say primary or secondary

[itchy5]

primary o2 sensors are pretty expensive :X

[hothatch]

Well i did some research and the only safe way togo is to get a direct fit sensor thats is quality.I ended up dropping frggin $200 on thie denso sensor but they are the finest in the world and i dont want to have to get one of these again for a long time.Seems alot of people said the bosch is a pos for jap cars. So if anyone one has the same issues as me get the Denso model# 234-9004. God i hope this fixes it.................
