I found out by calling the dealer that I had a California emissions engine and that I needed a "special" O2 sensor that costs $330. I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he called a friend of his that specializes on Hondas. He told him that certain Hondas with ULEV VTECH engines do require a special sensor. He suggested that I used Bosch 13493. It worked. Hope this helps someone out.
Can you please tell me is this Bosch 13493 for the '02 CRV EX? I have both of the codes P1166 and P1167 and would like to make sure I get the correct part for my '02. How would I tell if my engine is the ULEV VTECH? I did buy my CRV on the East Coast so thinking it is not he ULEV but need to make sure of that also. Any and all help is appreciated as I am a single mom and have someone to install this part, but I just have to get the correct part for my Honda. Also any suggestions where I can acquire this part as inexpensive as possible. Your assistance much appreciated. Thanks.
