Ebay Oxygen Sensor? Experience?

[bigskyeric]

I have a bank 1 sensor 2 burned out on my 4runner. I bought a WI-FI obdII plugin and downloaded 'Engine Link' for my Iphone. (awesome app by the way and only $6) it confirmed the sensor is dead. The OEM sensors are really spendy, around $200. Yet, on Ebay they start around $30. Has anyone had any luck with the cheapos? Here is a link to what is currently available. 04 4 runner downstream oxygen sensor | eBay

Any of these you would recommend?

Thanks

Aftermarket oxygen sensors tend to be terrible. You can get a Denso on rockauto.com for pretty cheap (there are a few different types and I'm at work so I dont have time to look into the differences). They make the OEM ones, so they would probably be a good replacement.

Go Denso. I wouldn't touch the aftermarket stuff when it comes to o2 sensors.

Thanks for the reply.. . they do have good prices, but will i have to splice the wires myself? And is there a difference between downstream left and downstream right? I'm assuming left is driver side and right is passenger?

Denso, NGK, or Bosch are the brands I would use in that order.

It doesn't look like it. From what I can see in the pics, they include the harness. Left is driver, right is passenger.

what he said. i mistakenly ordered the cheapest o2 sensor from rock auto for $43, when the denso was $48, i click on the wrong line and went thru with the purchase. boy was that a waste of time and money.

denso or if you wanna splurge red box toyota

Im getting bank 1 sensor 2 code. Engine link confirms this, its showing 0 voltage.

 

[BlackWorksInc]

0 voltage? With the vehicle running, not running. Does it try to cycle between 0~1v?

0 voltage. The other side reads fine.

Go with a Denso. I wouldn't cheap out on an o2 sensor.
