Man, you must have had horrible smelling exhaust and equally horrible gas mileage if your driving with no O2 sensor at all.
An OEM sensor that is a simple plug and play is pretty expensive, over $100, but it's guaranteed to work and is a totally simple install - stupid proof. Bosch makes an O2 for like $40, you need to butt connect the wires yourself, but the directions totally suck on which wire goes where, because the directions aern't model specific. I bought a Bosch and tried connecting it myself, I was 99.9% sure I did it right, and it still didn't work right. Pissed me off, I'd go OEM next time.

That should work if the other sensor is fine. Did you say your wires were cut? Are you sure the o2 sensor you have now is bad. Maybe it just needs to be rewired

honestly im goin based on what my boy told me cuz he knows his hondas in and out...and he said yes they are cut...but now i remembered i can take out da one from my old 95 integra LS and just have him rewire it instead of me buying a new o2 sensor...now anotha question, how do i take out the o2 sensor from my other integra without messing it up???

But if the wires are cut then how does he know if the sensor that is in your car now doesn't work?

the 02 is gonna run u like 130 at the autoparts store. they sell also a special socket jus to remove/put on 02 sensors. its easy to do, u can DIY. the price for a new oxygen sensor is is fukn crazy tho. atleast thats what i paid for the Denso one i had to replace on my GSR.
