Default Re: 2001 Accord EX (4-cyl) is at 102k miles - Shows SIX troublecodes!! Yikes!

which engine? F23A1 or F23A4?

If non-ULEV you should be able to get both upstream and downstream
sensors for about $130 +shipping (www.rockauto.com). I'd recommend
Bosch planar type sensor, these designs are more resistant to
contamination than the cheap heated thimble that's in there already.
I'd stay away from Densos, these have cost Toyota, Honda and many
owners to needlessly replace catalytic converters.

However, if you have the ULEV version, then the upstream sensor costs
about $220! I think the OEM may be the NTK pump cell wide band sensor,
which Bosch also reboxes, but not sure.

If the sensor is not working, then your car's ECU may not go into
closed-loop operation. So try to solve these first.
