it couldn't hurt to replace both o2 sensors. But they are supposed to be disgusting looking. There is another way to test them I think.

Alright well it's been awhile since I've been albe to respond but I changed one of the o2 sensors (front side) and.... it DIDN'T HELP grrrr... nah jp but after that I thought I'd leave it up to a mechanic to diagnois it...funny thing was my next guess was the fuel pump and that was just what it was. So I guess now we know what the symtoms of a failing fuel pump are now. Thanks guys for tryin to help all of your advice was good just not right Thanks again

Sorry to cut in on this thread, but Wil, I have a question:

I looked up the part on the Autozone website, based on the partial part number you gave. Looks like it's 11152 for the O2 Sensor, here:

http://www1.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=C001&UserAction=performOemResultSet&Parameters=OXYGEN+SENSOR|~11152|~1

But this part seems to have been discontinued. If I look up the universal part for a '92 MX-3, it gives me a couple choices, but they are about $70 each.

Any idea where we can still find the universal O2 sensors cheap?

I thought it might have also been the throtle position sensor??? OH yeah, the Check Engine Light did NOT come on when I dissconnted it so this better reassures me

Dood stop being lazy and just replace them. Obviously the test proved that your O2's are to blame.

Use the universal ones like i described above tho..they work flawlessly and only take 1 minute extra to warm up on cold days. i've been using them for 6+ months now without issue. And they cost 1/4 as much as OEM replacements.

At the parts store, ask for an OEM replacement for a 90-94 Protege (doesn't matter which engine) they use the same one. I think the Bosch part number is 11x52...can't quite remember the middle number.

And when hookin it up, the BLUE WIRE on the 4-wire haress is the one you want to splice the single wire into. I just took my old O2's out....cut the harness off RIGHt where they meet the O2 and used the harness directly on the new O2's thing using a crimp connector and it hasn't failed yet.

Hey Hank...Well the o2 sensor I replaced was a bosch 11027 part number. They had given me that one because they said it was a universal for the 92 model protege engine like groharlem had said. They were almost exactly $18 like he had said too.

[Gro Harlem]

yeah, 11027 is the correct one...my bad. I was trying to remember it off the top of my head.

Just ask for a universal one from a 1.8 90-94 Protege (doesn't matter if its SOHC or DOHC)....its the same thing

Thought I might add that even after the $55 diagnosis and the $165 fuel pump... My car STILL runs like $hit. I'm so pissed-off at them for misdiagnosising my car. They had said my fuel pressure was nothing and that it was my fuel pump to blame. So I spent much of my time today replacing that and it still does the same thing. I'm goin back up there tommorow and given em a piece of my mind and have them look over it again. I guess I should have them replace whatever is needed that way if it wasn't needed then I'd given a big F U if they expected me to pay for it. Sorry for the anger but I have to let my steam out somewhere.

Thanks guys, I'm going to order some soon. Mine have never been replaced in 12 years, and I think it's about time.
