Ca. O2 sensor vs Fed O2 sensor
 
Hello again!


Now, I bought my Vx last month and everything has been great up until now. I did however come across one tiny little problem- CODE 48!. Nothing serious right? Right! So anyway, I'm debating which one of the two O2 sensors I should go with. I have a 1992 CA. Vx which came with a 5 wire sensor, but from what I've read, it doesn't even have to correct ecu to require it. Down the road I do plan on converting it with a Fed Ecu, but right now times are tough. Am I going to be ok with the four wire? Please don't tell me I have to splice any wires or anything! I had planned on buying this one https://shop.oreillyauto.com/ProductD...pe=291&PTSet=A but am open to any other suggestions. I definitely don't want get the wrong one. Thank's in advance ladies and gents.

If you have a '92 VX with a 5 wire sensor, then you should use the 5 wire sensor, no way of getting around that.. Converting to 4 wire would be pretty difficult and a waste especially if you plan on swapping to a FED ECU which would give you lean burn. Just pony up the $$ for the O2 sensor and just be happy that a swap to a Federal ECU is going to be as easy as plug and play..

you can get the OEM one HERE for less than the O'Reilly Auto price of the wrong one. and you won't have to splice any wires either.

I'm really grateful/thankful for the link and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but is that a reputable site? Is that the EXACT sensor that I need? I've read so many horror stories about wrong/incompatible sensors that I wanna make sure I get the right one. Again, thank you very, VERY much.

There have been a couple on here and another site that have ordered from there and have had no troubles.

If you have the 5 wire O2 like you say, then you're set. Glad to help out.
