Has anyone had experience with parts quality for your 430 when buying from Amazon? Ive been having trouble with a P0134 code referring to the 02 sensor circuit having no activity. Bought a replacement sensor from Amazon a lil while back thinking it will cure my problem. Nope! Code came back so i started looking elsewhere for other possible problems such as broken wires, vacuum and exhaust leaks. Did have the infamous heat shield exhaust leak, got it repaired but still got the code returning. After weeks of probing around, it brought me back to the 02 sensor again. Tested it using a DMM this morning to find its putting out a high voltage reading(+900mV) after warm up. After driving to work, i took another reading while the car was parked idling and got less than 100mV. Bad part i assume. The part i bought is a Denso Oem replacement 02 sensor which is who i believe makes the OEM part. What are the chances of a new 02 sensor being bad right out of the package? Should i go with a different brand? Any thoughts?

Denso is the good stuff assuming it is not counterfeit. I have had good luck buying car stuff on Amazon. When I have had problem Amazon is quick to accept a return and refund my cash. Ebay is a different story, with lots of counterfeit stuff and very little in the way of consumer protection.

Amazon lately became full of counterfeit items =((( Bought cisco power supply just to find out it's not cisco by a long shot... Beware

Make sure it is sold and shipped by Amazon.
