that would be the last of my worries , I soldered my F/ic. I would like to just find a cheaper o2, I dont mind cutting or soldering. A bad o2 messes up your AFR's really bad = ( according to my gauge

Have you cleaned it first? Pull it out and spray brake cleaner on it and then put it back in.

I've used o2 sensors on a couple cars from www.oxygensensors.com, they work great and are FAR less expensive than getting one from the dealer. Although fwiw, none of the ones I've ordered from them were wideband.

Their website doesn't seem to list anything for MY '07 or newer, but you could try contacting them directly. I'm sure the Fit shares a sensor with other models.

Don't know about the Fit, but in my experience, newer Honda's are very picky about using Denso o2 sensors.

I'd go stock, just in case. I had a 3 week odyssey with my CR-V b/c I ordered a couple of cheap universal sensors online. I tried Bosch, spliced everything correctly, and no worky. Got some no name aftermarket off eBay that were "claimed" to be OEM. They didn't work either. Broke down and got the Densos from Rockauto.com....and they worked right off. I'm a member at HondaSUV.com and everyone there warned me not to use universals or non-OEM. I blew them off b/c ever o2 sensor I'd ever replaced had been with a Bosch universal. I had to go back and apologize to them b/c they were right.

Again, that's a CR-V and not a Fit....but Hondas do, on occassion, seem to work best only with the OEM part. Much as I hate to say it....
