O2 Sensor brand

[Powell]

Well i bought an o2 sensor and i know the mopar ones are the best but nearest dealer here is an hour. So my question is has anyone heard or used a brand called "Standard"? didn't want to put it in just yet. Is it atleast better than the bosch?

Not sure if it's better but I never had a problem with my Bosch O2 as far as how the car ran. What I did have an issue with is that if you use it to tune based on the output voltages it would never go above .88v no matter how much fuel I threw at it. I guess the mopar sensors will go above this voltage. The bosch ran the car at a nice 15.2:1 at idle and cruise which was a bit better for MPG but never hurt the motor. I've learned thought you shouldn't be tuning with the narrowband sensor anyway. As far as running the car for MPG and good emmisions the Bosch sensor is perfectly fine.

Yah i just needed one to fix my rich problem right now. I'm new to the whole widband O2 sensors. Seem to be fairly new thing? You don't need a laptop constantly running in the vehicle when using those do you? Sounds easy enough to set-up too.

nope you don't need a laptop in the car.

I was using "Standard Ignition" products back in the mid 80's to mid 90's before I went to work at a Chrysler Dealership and swore by them. They manufacture "Blue Streak" Ignition. I am still running thier Dist Cap,Rotor and Ignition Wires on my car.
So unless thier quality has declined I would say go for it.

Good to know, I tried to replace today before the rain came but failed miserably .. I had forgotten how much a pain it is to reach these on these cars.... not much room for the ratchet
