I know they're listed as available. I picked up a statement from another
newsgroup that said ONLY the Honda sensor will work. I don't have a clue why
theirs would be different but I was tired of messing with it.

It's possible. The 'generic' one had bad wiring instructions so I have to
throw that evidence out. I don't have the Bosch part number anymore. The
'generic' one is: 5420 04G04, made in Indonesia. The Honda one
is:36531-PAA-L23.

The old Denso was:192400-1000 07U09.

The first sensor Honda pulled for me had a pigtail that was too short. Turns
out there is a difference in length between the 2dr and the 4dr....
