Bosch Unviersal O2 Sensor

Determined my CEL was due to bad bank 1 sensor 1 O2 sensor. Ordered the Bosch universal from BMA yesterday. Has anyone used this sensor? Any installation tips, specifically wiring the connector?
Thanks

I just ordered the same O2 sensors for my '95 LE V6 (118,000 mi.) I found a wiring guide on the bosch website under O2 sensors FAQ. My sensors should get here on wednesday i'll post back on how it goes. My CEL has been on for months, i didnt read the codes but i figured id replace the sensors since they are due.


Is bank 1 the front sensor (not behind the cat.)?

Just make sure the O2 sensor you're getting have same amount of wires as the one on your engine.

I believe the 94-96 have 4-wire O2 sensors.

Well i replaced the O2 sensors this weekend, in all it took me under and hour. Heres what i did for those considering replacing theirs:

The Bosch universals (part number 15734, picked up from partsamerica.com for $69.99 each) wired up easily with the included posilock connectors provided. The front one was very simple, the back one was a bit more involved. I had to remove the front passenger seat, reach under the carpet toward the console, unhook the harness connector, then pull the grommet and sensor through. I did the splice on the interior side as to keep the connector inside the car. I figured this way it wouldnt be exposed to water etc. Connected up the sensor, replaced the seat and i was done. I pulled the EFI fuse for a few seconds to get rid of my CEL light and then fired the car up. i went for a long drive and notice much improved throttle response and idle. No more CEL either. Prior to changing them my CEL was always on, the car bogged when cold, rough idle, and ran rich. Now all is well.

thanks for all the info ive picked up from this forum.

Stock except the weapon-R intake (from my old 93 prelude) customized to fit.
Hoping to get 250,000mi out of her!
