I got my honda civic O2 at the local "discount import autoparts" for just over $60... it was a bosch unit

any thing you buy pre-built will be several GRAND... you can build the DIY-WB yourself for about 200 including the WB-O2...  Autozone has the NTK sensor for 169 in the bosh brand (an NTK sensor in the Bosch box) it's for the 95 Honda Civic 1.5 Federal emissions.

A little off from the original question, but is there a ready source for a "plug and play" WB-O2 that gives the 0-5V output as described below?  I've seen lots of discussion about DIY-WB and such, but I'd rather pay the extra cash and get going more quickly with my project.  I'm looking for voltage level output, not a display or anything like that.
 
Thanks.

a narrow band O2 is what is in 99.9% of the cars on the road... it is a non-linear sensor with an output of 0-1 volt... 0v being lean, 1v being rich...  at stoich, it produces approx 0.450V output, but going rich makes the output swing rapidly up and going lean makes it swing rapidly down .
 
a wideband O2 (At least the NGK/NTK I am familiar with) is actually a narrow band sense element and an Oxygen Ion pump in a single package...  it takes a special controller to run...  the controller looks at the O2 sensing element output, and if it varies from stoich (0.450V) the controller drives the Oxygen ion pump...  if it's rich, it pumps Oxygen ions into the sample chamber until Stoich is reached, then the controller knows exactly what the mix was due to how much Oxygen it needed to add... conversly, if it's lean (less than 0.450V) on the sensor, then the Oxygen Ion pump is commanded to remove Oxygen from the sample until 0.450V is again reached...  the output of the controller is a linear 0-5V signal and is 2.50V at stoich.

Hi all:
 
Could someone please explain Wide Band/Narrow Band O2 Sensors. I am trying
to understand the differences but it's just not sinking in. If there is a
site that explains it clearly, I would appreciate the URL.
 
Thanks and Best-of-the-holidays to all.
 
Joe
