O2 Sensor - Emissions - Questions
Okay so I've done some searching and I wanted to make sure that what I came up with was right.
My car flunked emissions the CO2 value was 24 and the threshold is 20. Recently I had an engine light for Front Left O2 Sensor. I've also had my rear sensor go bad a while back.
* From what I gather (if i was cheap) I would only want to replace the front left sensor. This should help the fuel mixture I believe?
* The rear sensor doesn't have any bearing on emissions?
(1995 maxima)
So i pulled up the Rock Auto catalog:
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...,parttype,5132
and there are TONS of sensors. Could somebody offer advice as to which sensor I should buy? I believe some you have to "crimp" wires and some you don't? I may just take it to the shop to have it installed but I was hoping somebody could offer some advice.
Thanks so much for all the help information on this website.

I just changed my O2 sensor on the front right (back header) and it was easy. I just went to advanced auto and picked it up prewired. All i had to do was screw it in and plug the other end in... It was very simple. did it in 30 min with a HOT motor.

www.02sensors.com And order the direct OE replacement. No crimping wires, just plug and drive away.
