- Thu May 21, 2015 6:28 pm #353856 4-wire should be correct.
Can you give us more background on the car? Did you just complete the swap? what ecu are you using? how's the wiring? Did it have a 4 wire when you got it? is there a Check Engine Light? Have you tried replacing the o2 sensor with a brand new one?

I did the swap, the car is running but yes there is an engine light,
What O2 sensor do I ask for? Having trouble finding one that's long enough to go to spot near cat to plug

You may have to get an extension harness. A lot of places have them, google "honda o2 sensor extension harness" :thumb:

- Wed Jun 10, 2015 1:06 pm #354112 There are 3 types of honda o2 sensors. 1-wire, 4-wire, and 5-wire. It sounds like you have the proper o2 sensor, the 4-wire. You're saying it's not plugged in, giving you the CEL that you haven't checked. Before you buy another 4-wire o2, buy the extension, which you'll need anyways. :thumb:

Now you can check the CEL code to confirm it's the o2 sensor :thumb:

I'm a D series guy, don't know much about the B's. But if it's a common issue with Skunk2, I believe it. You can't go wrong with an OEM typeR- Honda's quality is better than Skunk2 :thumb:
