why in the world are u using universal 02 sensors? also why r u changing out the downstream 02's? the denso number is 2344603, u start changing the length of the wires and u have created a resistance problem, i dont know how much of an effect it will have on a post cat 02 but i sure wouldnt put any universal crap on my car

A lot of members have used the Walkers with no problems. Obviously I already have the Walker sensors. So there is no reason I need Denso part #'s. I hope MY choice in parts for MY car hasn't offended you TOO much!


Thanks for the help

Let's keep this thread on topic please.

i've used universal (denso) o2 sensors on a few of my cars and havent had any issues.

walker's website SHOULD have a pinout for which wire is which on the sensor.

Haha yeah. Well my CEL hasn't come back on yet **knock on wood** after replacing the gaskets. So if all stays well I'm not even going to worry about replacing them.
