Bosch Oxygen Sensors

[KaotiKCamaro5]

looking to order some Bosch O2 Sensors, but i was questioning whether or not i should get the OE type or the Universal ones for the 93 Camaro 3.4L.. Keeping in mind the fact that i had the catalytic converter removed.. the OE style is cheaper by a whopping $1.09 and i dont see a huge problem, seeing as how i dont have to have a sensor after the cat.. the 3.4 only had 2 that were before the catalytic converter.. but im just tired of it kindof chugging, everyone says its my O2 sensors, so im gonna see if they're right

doing great and my gas mileage has improved
big time.

ya they usually just thread in one end and you unhook the sensor but sometimes they are hard to get at.

[Chevyracincamaro]

yeah there is a one wire hookup that just unplugs from a harness. the sensor just unscrews and youre good to go...

[tacoma man.]

your welcome buddy. probaly a 5-10 minute
job for ya.

just make sure the engine has cooled down a little, it would kind of blow to get burnt changing that thing and its pretty easy.

I wouldn't use Bosch O2 sensor, bought one before... does not perform like factory sensor. Car still ran as if I was using a bad sensor, GM people told me not to use aftermarket because they are not as precise as factory sensor. Bought gm sensor, worked flawlessly. Bosch sensor $30, GM $69. You get what you pay for; there is a reason for the price difference.

also exhaust should be slightly warm, makes it easier to unscrew the sensor. but not so hot that you burn yourself. if the sensor does not come with anti-sieze compound already around the screw threads, put it on there, it keeps the sensor from welding itself to the exhaust when it gets really hot.

GM sensors work better and are more reliable.
