Car Forum / Mitsubishi Cars / March 2004Oxygen sensor?
Autozone has a scan tool and scanned my car which indicated 0135 error, upstream o2 sensor. So I just bought the upstream Oxygen sensor from them. However, it looks like the wires wont be long enough. Is that normal? Can I just solder the old harness on, which will extend it? Thx... yes. auto zone sold you a generic sensor as opposed to a vehicle specific sensor. no huge deal but they should have informed you. > Autozone has a scan tool and scanned my car which indicated 0135 error, > upstream o2 sensor.

The problem is that the wire and connector does not even come close to the vehicle specific. I tried to install it, even thought about cutting and matching the wires, but took it back. I will go to Mitsu. on monday and get the correct one. Do you have any idea how much it costs? thx,.. > yes. > auto zone sold you a generic sensor as opposed to a vehicle specific sensor.

AZ sells only a generic which works just the same, but requires tapping and splicing. -- "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Try here for comparison purposes..... http://www.oxygensensors.com/ FWIW YMMV DFB that's pretty reasonable pricing... partznet.com has them for $5.00 less > >The problem is that the wire and connector does not even come close to the > >vehicle specific.

If this is a Galant, an Eagle Talon, or Mits Eclipse, don't even try to splice it in. It won't work. Believe me I've tried. Return the 02 sensor to AutoZone, get your money back and get the correct part from the dealer. They may get you the wrong one as well (too short) if so return that one and have them get you the real one. Above all, be persistent.

In Autozone's defense, what the person sold you was probably a universal BOSCH branded O2 sensor, Autozone does not stock OR sell generic O2 sensors. the universals are Bosch, but yes you have to splice the wires yourself which I guarentee will cause problems. Bosch created the oxygen sensor, they are not generic. I've had excellent performance from the Bosch o2 sensors. > Autozone has a scan tool and scanned my car which indicated 0135 error, > upstream o2 sensor.
