Where to buy o2 sensor
Friday, January 26, 2007 11:45 PM
My o2 sensor after the cat has finally crapped out on me and I need one. Actually, it crapped out on me months ago and I'm finally tired of looking at the cel. Anyhow, AutoZone, Napa, and Advanced Auto by me only care Bosch sensors. It's the same thing online with them. Summit has NGK sensors, but they've been on backordered for aeons. So my question to you is where the hell can I get this fricken sensor? I'd like AC Delco if I could, though the NGK one that I have by the header has been working fine so that would probably be alright too. And I don't feel like going to the dealer and getting raped by their ridiculous prices. So any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

P.s. It's a 2002 Z24 by the way.

Bosch works just as well as AC Delco.

Yeah you can keep believing that if you like. You can get Ac Delco's from GM. Most bosch are universal (which means splicing of wires), which causes issues.

Unless you screw up the splices...

Solder and heatshrink. No issues and no codes thrown. That's been about 8-9 months so far.

Umm, I just a Bosch after my cat probably 6 months ago now and I've never had any issues, and I didn't have to splice any wires...

It has been posted on here before Bosch (usually) does not work well with our cars. Yes some have had good luck with them, but lots have had bad luck. You are free do buy what you want. Just giving my info and my experience. Ac Delco is the best for O2 sensors and oil filters for our cars.

Alright, thanks. Like I said, I'd prefer to stay away from Boschs. Better safe than sorry. I guess I'll call the dealer in the next few days and get a price for the sensor. I was just hoping I could find them online somewhere.

www.gmpartsdirect.com probably has a better price, however it can be a challenge to search your way through their online parts catalogue and find the right part.
