Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Denso 2344330 Air-Fuel Ratio Oxygen Sensor by Joe Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OEM for my 2002 Miata

Perfect fit. Here's how I did the job in brief. 1) Clear the Check Engine light with a code reader, then remove the driver's seat. 2) Lift up the lower rear carpet near the center console and locate the rubber boot next to it with the wire connector. 3) Disconnect the cable and slide the cuff together with the cable through the hole in the cabin covering the cuff. 4) Unscrew the 2 brackets holding the wiring harness from the catalytic converter. 5) Use a Powerbuilt 648691 Offset Puller to remove the old O2 sensor from the passenger side of the catalytic converter (be prepared to wrestle with this if you're not much stronger than me - I ended up removing it, though I had an office job - but had to take ibuprofen for the next few days to be totally honest 7) Apply a HUGE amount of anti-seize paste to the threads of the new 02 sensor - it's included included - and hopefully if you ever need to replace this one you will have no problem removing it. 8) Screw on the new one by hand and tighten it with an eccentric puller. 9) Install the brackets to the wiring harness the same way you removed the old one so they don't touch the exhaust pipe. 10) Start the car and look at the dashboard in amazement if the check engine light does NOT come on. 11) Post on Facebook about how manly (or feminine) and self-sufficient you feel doing it yourself.
