oxygen sensors

Wow

I'm having that very same code on my 2000 Mazda
Protege!

Could it be the sensor instead of the converter?

 

I have tried and seen about every aftermarket wire out there over the
years and OEM always wins.

I used Bosch wires on my '84 Scirocco when I tuned it up figuring they
would be acceptable replacements for a German car. They failed within
two months and I had to pay for a costly trip to the mechanic just to
find out that the new plug wires I'd installed were garbage (I
couldn't believe that new parts could fail that quickly...)

I bought fancy expensive Accel wires a few years back and same deal,
they failed first time they got wet. The Bosch wire are a 'discount'
brand at the store I shop at and I wouldn't touch them on my Jeep, I
went back to OEM and am still running them 8 years later.

You don't need platinums for the B16.

The '90 CRX used the B16A1 engine. OEM specified plugs for that engine are
the non-platinum:
NGK BKR6E-N11
and
ND (Denso) K20PR-L11

You should pay around 3 or 4 bucks each for them.

What are the brands and part numbers you're being quoted for each type?

do you expect $100 tires to perform the same as $40 tires? do you
expect a $35 coolant pump to last as long as a $65 coolant pump?

good spark plugs mean good ignition. good ignition means a little more
power and lower emissions.

unless you're into recreational spark plug changing, the more expensive
plugs with their much extended replacement interval and better
efficiency more than pay for themselves.

yeah, but OEM denso and NGK plugs for one Honda 4 banger vs another;
sheesh, for the price of one B16 plug I could install 6 D16 plugs and
have very good ignition of the mixture.
