Car will probably run rich.Quote:

When cruising on constant speed or driving on light acceleration, you may feel very subtle judder with your car. That's because the ECU is trying operate in a closed loop state which means it is tapping into the oxygen sensor that has failed.
However, on hard acceleration or WOT (wide open throttle), a failed oxygen sensor is irrelevant because the ECU ignores the sensor by default relies a pre-programmed fuel map to manage the fuel on your car.
In my opinion if you want the best fuel economy, I would to use the original Honda part rather than sourcing a denso one. Reason is because you're not 100% sure if the sensor response characteristics is identical to that of the Honda sensor. Yes the Honda sensor maybe made from the same manufacturer and Denso is good enough get rid of the CEL based on reports from people already using the aftermarket denso sensor. However, based on that you can't accurately conclude it will perform the same as the Honda sensor.
I think the only accurate way to determine if they are same part is to hook the sensors up to an oscilloscope, blast the sensor with metered oxygen gas and compare the voltage curve to each other. Or if a Honda engineer can formally confirm that they
use exact same sensor as the aftermarket denso sensor.
Hope this helps.
Would it be possible for a O2 sensor to be broken without the ECU throwing codes?
Thanks, my car did feel like it's going to stall for a sec when I come to a stop or in stop and go traffic but this was before the cel came on, tho I had always thought it had to do with the idle air control sensor. I don't see a difference in fuel economy or performance tho. Installed the new denso sensor and cel is now gone :) both oem and denso look very identical, incl the wire colorsQuote:

hey guys.. my induction hose on my EP3 has a big ass split on it... anyone here know where i can get a new one...
?
SFS induction hose on ebay. $110 ishQuote:
