Default o2 sensor and belts...

1997 Integra LS

Well, i have the similar knocking and strange jumping idles I was reading about, which is apparnetly caused by the o2 sensor. Can anyone tell me the location or post a diagram of it?

I also went and go an oil change on my car today and they said my drive belt was about through and would need a new one soon. Then proceeded to go into a story of how for timing belt, drive belt, and new water pump would only be $499. I def. don't have that money right now, so i think I'll replace the drive belt myself. Anyone have input to how difficult this may be or any tips I should know beforehand?

Also, I site or shop with good pricing for either the o2 sensor or drive belt would be much appreciated, thanks!

OEM o2 sensors are expensive, actually almost all OEM parts are pretty pricey

Well I found some here...

http://replacement.car-stuff.com/par...r&category=All

They are a bit cheaper...

Now, how do I tell which one is causing the car to sputter at idle and during low rpms? The one before the cat or the one after? Any ideas?
