Not being a great or even a good mechanic or even a mechanic I need more info on replacing the 02 Sensor. Where can I buy a generic one? Also looking in the Mazda Miata Enthusiast's Shop Manual, on page 5:41 I can only find reference to *Throttle Sensor* and the *Oxygen Sensor* but nothing on the 02 Sensor. Is there any information in this book about replacing the 02 Sensor that you know of?
Thanks for any contibutions to this problem. Jenlura
it must be too obvious... O2 = OXYGEN

Few of us are.
I thought *mechanics* did that sort of thing?
One is
Use the instructions for the oxygen sensor and do it twice. You have to get it *absolutely right*, for EPA compliance.
You are welcome. :)

O2 is the chemical name for oxygen. I would look for references to "oxygen sensor" in your repair manual.

I went into some reasonable parts store and told them I needed a replacement sensor for a 90 Miata. They gave me some generic sensor, which I spliced into the existing wiring harness. Works fine, can't recall what it cost, but I would guess around $40 - $50.
Before breaking the old one loose, I put a little penetrating oil around the threads. Took a small amount of grunting, but I don't recall any part of the removal and replacement being a big deal.

The O2 sensor and the oxygen sensor are the same thing. You will need a special socket to remove it. The auto parts store should have it. Follow the instructions about wire length.
Just want to take the time to thank all the Miata people who answered my 02 sensor question. It was a big help. Jenlura
