Hi from West Cornwall and a quick question..
Hi Luders I'm on a pretty tight budget and need to get another lamda sensor after a very cheap one seems to have gone bad after only a few months.
My car is mostly stock 4G BB1 running H22A1 with de-cat Janspeed exhaust.
Can anyone recommend a good value lamda/o2 sensor and supplier for me please?
I don't want to waste time but haven't got money to burn on brand allegiance.
I am getting through a bit of oil. like we all do when hooning around with synthetic oil and am thinking I'll need to put new rings on it maybe this winter.
I get a CEL if I drive at less than a ton and pull code 43 when I get back home.
Slight smell of exhaust leads me to think go put new downpipe gasket on first...
Cheers Dan

I got my lambda sensor from RockAuto in the US (NTK/NGK part # 24169). (1994 4th gen')
See the Trader's Section. I think I paid approx £60.

Hello again Luderunners.
A few months have passed since I last asked for some help.
As always any helpful comments appreciated.
Here's my situation now, I have been getting a CEL and code 41 again .
The replacement o2 sensor from Gendan went down with an open circuit across the heater element.
Grant from Gendan replaced this for me with a new one which lasted about a month and gave me a nice lean running happy driving car, until it too failed with the same symptom as the first. CEL and code 41.
So after establishing that the heater signal is absent I start tracing back the missing heater voltage to pin A6 at the ecu where my multimeter should measure 12v .
It is not present on the pin with the ignition on.
Am I to assume this means I have a faulty ECU?

Thanks for replies, still going strong, actually mid MOT at the moment .
This is my daily driver so stays on the road at all times.
Not a bad list of things to do for the re-test;
Nearside front tyre fitted wrongly inside/outside ( I know who did this )
High level brake light inoperative- easy fix.
One ripped track rod end ball joint boot needs replacing.
& that's all
Wurly; Thanks. As far as I know 12v heater signal should be present with ignition on.
I'm wondering what creates the heated o2 signal now. What conditions have to be met?
Found another ecu, a 'virgin' p13 according to the seller.
It runs ok but I'm still getting code 41.
So with a second ecu giving same symptom, I'm fairly confident the trouble originates elsewhere.
The emissions are just about within permissible limits according to my MOT tester.
EGR system and FIT valve could do with clean out I reckon. They are next to-do.
I'm running an o2 sensor pulled off a civic I found at the breakers yard until I can get a better one.
Any more ideas anyone?
