Denso has a much better life expectancy and ability to run leaded fuel (race gas) without fouling.

Sorry to jump in... but in what way can you figure out when is time to change the O2 Sensor?

When your basically getting shitty idling problems, horrid gas milage and terrible response from your car.

Why you ask? because it's sending sooo much fuel to the car that it's basically going to Overfeed it.

machv.com denso sensor:

In the past there was only 1 place to get oxygen sensors for the DSMs... the dealer. If you went to an autoparts store you would probably get something that didn't have the right wires or you had to cut your old harness off and soldier it in. Thanks to Denso this isn't the case anymore!

Normally, we wouldn't be interested in selling something that cost roughly the same as an OEM piece except when there was an added benefit. The new Denso oxygen sensors have such a benefit... the ability to handle leaded gas!

DENSO Oxygen Sensors were rated as TWO TIMES MORE RESISTANT to silicone and lead poisoning.

Here are some more of the features of the Denso sensors. Fluorine Rubber Bushing: Protects the internal components of the oxygen sensor against water and corrosion.

Double-Protection Cover: First developed by DENSO, the double-protection cover assures quick response time by maintaining proper unit temperature in the ceramic element and protects the ceramic against outside lead and silicone poisoning. Available on all DENSO heated sensors.

Stainless Steel Housing: Rugged, watertight stainless steel body resists corrosion and contamination.

Porous tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Filter: This highly durable, heat-resistant material helps maintain the oxygen sensor's optimum performance. Porous tetrafluoroethylene allows atmospheric oxygen to enter the sensor without permitting water or engine contaminants to seep into the casing.

Aluminum Oxide Trap Layer: A DENSO exclusive, this specially designed aluminum oxide coating keeps silicone and lead outside the ceramic element and prevents silicone poisoning or damage to the platinum electrode.

Replaces only the front sensor on the 95-99 turbo vehicles.

Currently only available for 1990-1994 2.0 non-turbo and turbo, and 95-99 turbo. The 1995-1999 is a bit more expensive; sorry.
----------------------------------------

i got mine for $94.00 or something really close to that.
i dont know why it says the 1995-1999 cost more, it didnt change the price for mine i dont think, if it did it wasnt much.

I see know,

Damn 94.00 I paid 34 bux for my last o2 sensor.

crap maybe i did get ripped one then. But the one i got all you had to do was unscrew/unplug the old one then screw/plug the new one in, i didnt have to weld, cut, splice or drill anything. Ive seen where you can get a universal one for cheap but its a small hack job or something to get it in.

billdo_83 · 03-22-2004, 06:13 PM

Get a Denso or an OEM one.
Dont get a cheap one where you splice it in like a Bosch.
That is what I got and it is horrible :thumbdown:

sherfield2002 · 03-22-2004, 10:21 PM

i know autozone sells both a bosch that you have to splice and one that supposed to be a direct pulg in one

B00STED4banger · 03-22-2004, 10:24 PM

yeah, i saw the autozone one it's 74.99 for the dircet replacement one, no splicing

Here is a site for your exact car.

http://www.pickproparts.com/PartsLis...bCategoryID=33

Here's a link to Denso's aftermarket website.

http://www.densoaftermarket.com/onli...LE&model=TALON

My sensors for a 97 GST were $87 for the manifold sensor,
and $94 for the after the cat sensor.

Another site is www.oxygensensors.com they have a replaces part # link that is cool to verify.

Yours are a lot cheaper.
OEM is just way too expensive.

I search for a long time and tried to find the best price, and that's what I came up with for my car.

Peace
