3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I replaced my exhaust pipe and muffler and in the process of removing the old on I messed up the old heated oxygen sensor. It probably is best I replace it anyway, s not too upset.
However, I checked Autozone and Advanced and they are $100+ at both stores. I checked Rockauto and $40 to $65
If I tape the section of the pipe for a week will it cause damage in that short time?
Anyone have any knowledge or experience with the different brands?

Wire Length 22.83; Exc. Calif.; DENSO is the O.E. Manufacturer; Upstream
Also check Denso Aftermarket. Denso is the OEM maker, and get one from Rockauto or at least see if the local store's price comes close to that. Driving with an inoperative sensor puts the engine back in open loop. Emissisions increase and MPG drops. It's probably not too good for the catalytic converter either. But leave the bad sensor in place to plug the exhaust gas.
If you were working on the muffler then are you looking for the downstream sensor? Make sure you get the right one.
I don't think Ohio is a CARB state, so it probably just uses the Federal emissions sensors. But double check the underhood sticker.
You may be able to save $20 per sensor if you use the correct "universal" sensor that requires you to splice on the old connector. There are like a dozen "universal" sensor lines, so use the Denso catalog.
As stated, you need to determine what o2 sensor you are replacing. The downstream one does very little if anything for engine management. if you have the old sensor just screw it back in while you await the part. I am partial to Rockauto. I would only use Denso and I personally like the direct fit ones even with the extra cost. Also I think the o2 sensors in your car is referred to as a an air fuel sensor

Buy the Denso stuff from Rockauto but make sure you cross reference the numbers to get the right ones. The Precat sensor (if your car has one-I know the California emissions cars do) also controls the air/fuel ratio and will make the car run like crap if left out, the post cat sensor does not affect the air/fuel ratio and has much less effect on the engine.
THIS POST MIGHT HELP YOU IDENTIFY WHAT SENSOR YOU NEED
I am chasing a p0171 and a p1130. I decided to pull my upstream Air fuel ratio sensor(similar to an O2 sensor) to see the part #. As i remvoed it I noticed it was pretty lose. I am hoping this might have been my issue.That being said this is what I discovered. my cars build date is 04/98 in Japan( sticker on drivers door or door jamb). The emission stickers(underside of hood) says it complys to all California emissions laws. The car was purchased new in upstate NY
the part says Toyota #89467-33010 then it says Denso 0011
Rock auto has a Denso AF sensor part # 2349024 for $99. it has a cross reference Toyota part # of 89467-33011. I did some goggling and it appears the Toyota part # that ends in 11 replaces the original that ends in 10. Again this was for the upstream sensor. From what I can tell the downstream senosr I have would be the less expensive Denso on rockauto for about $64.79

I can't make out the third row of numbers, it is a Toyota brand.
When I was trying to remove it the pipe bent in and then I ended up ripping out the sensor and the surrounding pipe. I haven't been able to get it off.
This is the sensor that is about a foot past the flange that connects to the pipe with the catalytic converter.
Have a look on the underhood emissions sticker. Does it say Federal or California?
mine says meets US and California emissions......I think sometime in 1999 they separated the 49 states from California and kept the AF sensor for the California cars and started using O2 sensors for the other 49 states.....before that I think they were all AF sensor ....I don't know this for sure but I am deducing it from what I have been reading

I entered 98 Camry I4 into Denso Aftermarket's catalog. It shows Calif and non-Calif. I take it that since MA is one of the CARB states (California Air Resources Board), so Woodyg has a Calif emissions car.
Since California emissions standards are superior to the other 49 states, if it met Calif then it met US.
If I am looking at the correct sticker - it says Fed and Canada. However it notes that it complies with California standards or states that have adopted California standards.
Odd, when I click on the various manufactures part numbers they all seem to stop at 1997 for the LE
If you're looking for the downstream sensor it's the same Calif or non-Calif. The difference is in the upstream sensors. That's the part number Denso Aftermarket lists.
I was searching the CARB states, but can't tell if Ohio is one of them. But if you have Calif emissions then that's a cleaner setup.
Are you going to have a shop weld back the pipe that came off with the sensor?
