Perfect fit in 1996 Civic LX
By G. McGee
Just a warning- this item comes with a few bolts, but buyers should probably order extras. It does NOT come with a gasket.I've given this item 5 stars because it looks and sounds nice and it fit well in my '96 Civic, and I don't think it's caused other problems I've had- will update review when I find out if everything is OK.My car had a check engine light throwing a P0135 code for "02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction" and intermittently throwing a P0420 error code for "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold." I never did anything about it for a while since my car still passed emissions.I left it alone until I started getting idling problems. After warming up a while, if I went to neutral when the engine was revving over 2k RPMs the tachometer would drop like a rock and I'd stall out.Not wanting to replace my catalytic converter, I figured the bad sensor was causing the P0420 code, and I'd read online that a bad oxygen sensor can cause idling issues, so I bought a Bosch 13007 sensor to replace my OEM sensor. When I took the heat shield off the exhaust manifold to put the new sensor in, I noticed that the manifold had several hairline cracks where the center two pipes met near the O2 sensor port. Wanting to address one problem at a time, I put the new sensor in to see what would happen.As expected, with the new sensor the P0135 code was gone, but I still got intermittent P0420 codes. However, it seemed to fix the idling problem.After a few months, the idling problem returned. Doing some more research, I read that a cracked manifold can cause the 02 sensor to read a lean exhaust mixture and make the computer add extra fuel to compensate, which can deposit on the sensor and ruin it. Regardless, I had committed to replacing the manifold at this point.I got this manifold and a new Bosch sensor, just in case the old replacement was ruined. After both parts were installed, I still had the idling problem, so I had a friend take a look. It turned out the inside of the throttle body was gunked up, and after spraying a bunch of cleaner in it, the idling problem was gone. The P0420 codes also disappeared. I was ready to rejoice, but then the car started throwing intermittent P1362 codes for "TDC sensor no signal." This is a pretty serious code which should put the car into 'limp' mode, but it was running fine. There's also a separate code for an intermittent TDC signal failure, so I was confused as to what was causing it.When I got the manifold replaced, my friend advised me not to use German (Bosch) parts in my Honda. He had seen cases of Bosch sensors in Hondas screwing with the computer. The TDC code, while seemingly benign, is still annoying. I've since ordered a Denso sensor to replace the Bosch. I'll update this review if it turns out to fix the code.UPDATE: Swapping out the Bosch for the Denso O2 sensor didn't fix the TDC sensor issue, as I expected. I ended up swapping out the distributor, which did the trick. It's funny how problems seem to happen all at once.

Nice stainless steel. works good. and looks just like the drawling. You might have to trim the bolts to make them fit good. they are a tight fit.
